Upon Walker's graduation from the University of Chile in 1978, he joined Vicaría de la Solidaridad as an attorney-at-law.[1] At Vicaría de la Solidaridad, Walker defended people against human rights violations committed by the regime of General Augusto Pinochet.[1]
Walker was Deputy in the Chilean Parliament (1994–2002),[2] President of the Chilean Christian Democratic Party (2010-2015), Chilean Senator (2010-2018), and Foreign Minister (2004-2006) for the Republic of Chile.[3] In 1982,[4] he earned a PhD in political science from Princeton University.[5] Between 2007 and 2008, he was a visiting professor and researcher at Princeton University.[5] In 2018, Walker became the Kellogg Institute’s Hewlett Fellow for Public Policy at the University of Notre Dame.[1]
On September 27, 2018, Walker participated as a panel member on the Kellogg Institute's Inter-American dialogue commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Chilean plebiscite (political referendum) of October 5, 1988, which opened the way to a return to democracy in Chile after the Pinochet regime.[6] The historic panel included key leaders from both sides of the political aisle who recalled and reflected upon the "NO" campaign which led to Chile's limitation and rejection of Pinochet as President followed by the country's transition to democracy.[6] Along with Walker, members of the historic panel included Andrés Allamand - Senator of Chile, Eugenio Tiron - Executive President of Tironi Associates, Rev. Timothy R. Scully - Professor of Political Science and Hacket Family Director of the Institute for Educational Initiatives, and J.
