Abstract
In the previous chapters, this study has sought to explain the nature of the party elites during the political transition; to describe and explain the main aspects of the party elites’ background and social resources, including their family networks (independent variables); and to measure 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). The quantitative data was obtained from 386 members of the nucleus of the Chilean political elite, who were surveyed to obtain information about their social, academic and family background, social resources and professional and political careers, among other topics.
