Through the use of the polar concepts of consensus and conflict –on the one hand– and of compatibility and incompatibility –on the other– in the internal and external dimensions (respectively) of the foreign policy of a State, this work explores the hypothesis that Chilean foreign policy in the period since the end of World War II has evolved from predominantly consensual characteristics on the internal dimension, and from compatibility on the external level to rather conflictive characteristics on the internal and increasingly incompatible on the external. For this, the analysis is divided into two parts, one studies the internal variables that affect the formation of policies, and the other comments on the characteristics of foreign policies and the Chilean international position since the Government of Gabriel González Videla.
