Centro de Estudios del Desarrollo

CED, the Centro de Estudios del Desarrollo, is a Chilean centre focused on developing and exchanging ideas for the country. Its work addresses public policy and issues of economic, political, social, and environmental importance. Through its research, publications, events, and public commentary, CED encourages discussion about Chile’s development and democratic life.

A central offering is Asuntos Públicos, a website established in 2000 that publishes original reports intended to support high-quality analysis and debate. Topics featured include democracy, markets, income distribution, administrative integrity, demographic change, migration, and multilateralism. CED also publishes opinion pieces and shares its participation in media discussions.

The centre runs initiatives such as Diálogo Público Privado, which brings public- and private-sector participants into conversations on significant issues and aims to help lay the groundwork for a sustainable development model for Chile. Its activities include seminars and other events, with subjects ranging from migration and governance to territorial safety and development.
