Measuring and comparing species of capital in the Chilean political elite, 1990-2010.Although sociological research has examined the reproduction of Chile's elites, there is little empirical evidence as to how different forms of capital operate within them. Based on a survey of the country's elites, this study examines the effect of different forms of capital (cultural, social and political) on access to strategic positions in the legislative and executive branches of government. It focuses on the political elite between 1990, when military dictator Augusto Pinochet handed over the presidency to Patricio Aylwin, his democratically elected successor, and 2010, the end of President Michelle Bachelet's first government. At least three points are germane to this analysis: (1) understanding the nature of the party elites during the political transition; (2) describing and explaining the main aspects of the party elites' background and social resources, including their family networks (independent variables); and (3) exploring the effect of those variables on individuals' chances of achieving strategic positions in the political field, comparing the legislative and executive branches as represented by deputies and ministers (dependent variable).Political sociologySocial sciencesPhilosophySocial structureEqualityAmericaPolitics and governmentPolitical SociologySocial TheorySocial StructureAmerican PoliticsPolitical sociology.Social sciencesPhilosophy.Social structure.Equality.AmericaPolitics and government.Political Sociology.Social Theory.Social Structure.American Politics.983.064300 (edition:22)Garrido-Vergara Luisauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut931540MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910407710303321Species of Capital in the Political Elite2095498UNINA
