The impact of Kinship Networks on Party Formation and Civil War Alignments in Nineteenth-Century Chile

Using social network analysis I map the kinship ties among all 1,449 members of the political elites of Chile in the period 1828-1894, including all parliamentarians and ministers. I use community detection algorithms to identify core families, and I follow the electoral trajectories of families over six decades. Based on the electoral data, I infer the political allegiance of families in two civil wars: 1829 and 1891. Further, based on secondary sources I identify the families that founded the Chilean Liberal party in 1849. The Liberal party was founded by families that were defeated in the 1829 civil war together with a subset of the winning side that was marginalised after the conflict. Using QAP regressions, I show that political alignments in the civil war of 1891 are predicted by family political alignments in the civil war of 1829.
