DESCRIPTION:Naim Bro Khomasi\, University of Cambridge\n\nThe impact of K
 inship Networks on Party Formation and Civil War Alignments in Nineteent
 h-Century Chile\n\n\nUsing social network analysis I map the kinship tie
 s among all 1\,449 members of the political elites of Chile in the perio
 d 1828-1894\, including all parliamentarians and ministers. I use commun
 ity detection algorithms to identify core families\, and I follow the el
 ectoral trajectories of families over six decades. Based on the electora
 l data\, I infer the political allegiance of families in two civil wars:
  1829 and 1891. Further\, based on secondary sources I identify the fami
 lies that founded the Chilean Liberal party in 1849. The Liberal party w
 as founded by families that were defeated in the 1829 civil war together
  with a subset of the winning side that was marginalised after the confl
 ict. Using QAP regressions\, I show that political alignments in the civ
 il war of 1891 are predicted by family political alignments in the civil
  war of 1829.
