contents Social Networks and Political Parties in Chile Larissa Adler Lomnitz Política social networks – political structure political culture This paper describes the origin and evolution of two Chilean political parties (theRadical Party and the Christian Democrat Party) through the analysis of the socialnetworks that originated and composed them. The aim of this study is to propose amodel of national political cultures on the basis of the structure of social networksrelated to power and of the symbol system, which legitimizes it. The structure ofsocial networks, horizontal and vertical, are based on reciprocal or redistributiveforms of exchange, on what is being exchanged and on the articulation betweennetworks. In every society there are symmetrical and asymmetrical exchanges,which produce horizontal and vertical networks. These networks interact amongthemselves to form the social fabric. The dominance of some over others and howthey combine, delineate the character of the political culture (authoritarian vs.egalitarian). Chile is a multiparty country within which there are cohorts ofhorizontal groups of friends, who informally exercise a central control over theirmembers and create invisible boundaries setting them apart from others, in whichleadership is under constrains. The result is both a strong presidential systembased on an almost fanatic legitimacy, combined with factionalism and a strongparliamentary system 2002 artículo científico 1579-0185 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=93130103 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=931 Redes.
