dc.description.abstract	The Washington Consensus (WC) is a transnational norm that has especially been present in Latin America since the 1970s. Following this norm, many state industries in Chile were privatized during the neoliberal economic policy of the Pinochet dictatorship. The one exception was the copper industry. In the 1990s, a period of liberalization and private expansion started, and consequently stabilized in the 21st century. However, privatization of the state copper company was always avoided. To explain this striking liberalization policy, this thesis focuses on the localization of a transnational norm in a domestic context, where the contestation between transnational norm entrepreneurs and neopatrimonial veto players created a regulatory framework for the copper industry. The results show that the outcome of localization process is dependent on the relative power of these two contesting sides, but that the agency of the state must not be underestimated. 1	en_US
