Abstract
Taking Guatemala as a case
study, this paper reflects on the neoliberal
power and knowledge elite. Based on Michael
Mann’s theory of social power and
research on power structure, as well as
network analysis, the study explores Guatemala’s
domestic network of right-wing/neoliberal
think tanks and detects the key links
and core nuclei within it. Using real data,
the analysis reveals the business connections
between the staff of these neoliberal
think tanks. The paper is thus the first reflection
on those in privileged positions of
power within the think tank network and the
capacity this gives them to establish contacts
and transfer knowledge to the fields of
economic and ideological power.
