| Resumo: | The purpose of this article was to analyze the power and influence elite in the Puerto Montt community, the capital of the Region of the Lakes in Chile, its main characteristics, and how its composition has changed over a two-decade period (1996 - 2019). To do so, it followed the methodology proposed by the "Community Power Investigation'', particularly focusing on the positional and reputational approaches, which allow us to understand the composition and characteristics of the elite and its core, organized according to Parsons's AGIL Model. Notably, the study highlights the emergence of women, executives, professionals from companies, and social leaders in the new elite, displacing men, traditional figures, or representatives of religious creeds. It is concluded that the greater presence of individuals from the social and cultural sector stands out above those from the economic and political-administrative sectors in the new elite. Regardless, individuals from these sectors still maintain a significant presence in its core due to their key influence. Finally, there is an observed continuity in the variables of gender, with a majority of men; religion, with a catholic majority; and political orientation, where there is a majority of left-leaning individuals. |
