Although historians dissent on how long it lasted, there is consensus that it was a long process that went on for at least 15 years (some even argue that it has not finished yet, for the Constitution promulgated during Pinochet's regime is still in force.) During the process, the democratic institutions were progressively strengthened while the political influence of the military was gradually rolled back.
