ABSTRACT
This chapter draws judicial debates and approach exile in a broad sense, including the need to flee ones country for social and economic reasons that derived from the repressive policies imposed. It analyses the returning process organized by the WUS-UK Scholarship Program when political conditions in Chile were still unfavorable that is, during the dictatorship. After the military coup in Chile a great many intellectuals suffered countless persecution in the wake of a repressive policy that forced its way into educational and scientific institutions. At the time of Chiles military coup the UK was ruled by Edward Heath, a Conservative, and his administration did not engage in a welcoming policy for Chilean exiles. Nicaraguas Sandinista National Liberation Front, in office at the time, had defeated dictator Anastasio Somoza in July 1979 and the nation embarked on a period of social, economic, and political reforms inspired by a social-democratic ideology.
