Sumario:[eng] the importance of technological change and mobilization resources to understand intra-elite competition. Overall, this dissertation highlights that mobilization resources are crucial to explain both the origins and the consequences of intra-elite struggles. This is especially the case when certain elites have an insufficient capacity to mold institutions. A political economy explanation relating economic preferences and political mobilization resources is necessary to understand when elites split, but also to fathom how elite struggles influence political competition and democratization dynamics.
