Resumen
VEGA GODINEZ, Alejandro. Government Elites in Three Federated States of Mexico (2000-2012): A Structural Analysis. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2014, vol.59, n.222, pp.391-422. ISSN 0185-1918.
This article aims at analyzing the profile and the social structure resulting from the career itineraries of governmental elites in the states of Guanajuato, the State of Mexico, and Mexico City during the 2000-2012 period. The author applies a mixed method combining the conventional sociological analysis with a network approach. The study observes in the first place the relevance of the local space for the creation and development of elites. Secondly, it identifies the regularities and divergences in the elite recruitment and development processes in the three states under study. Finally, the analysis reveals that instability in employment may be simultaneously construed as uncertainty and an asset since it allows the local elites to gather a considerable political and social capital.
