![]() ![]() Objective/Context: This paper explores the relationship between corporate networks and business influence to figure out the conditions of state capture. Methodology: We analyze corporate networks through interlocking directorates in three Central American countries – Panama, Costa Rica, and El Salvador – using network analysis, and we pinpoint the relationship between the structure of the corporate network and two corporate political actions: contributions to presidential campaigns and revolving doors. Esta aplicacin permite a losciudadanosconsultar los resultados preliminares de la 2 vuelta delasElecciones Presidenciales que se celebran en la Repblica. Queremos informarles que hemos finalizado, el cien por ciento de las actas estn escrutadas. Conclusions: Results show corporate networks were fragmented in the three Central American countries, except for a well-connected business cluster in Panama. El Tribunal Supremo Electoral (TSE) inform que el escrutinio final termin y que el 100 de las actas estn escrutadas, dijo anoche la presidenta del organismo, Dora Esmeralda Martnez. The organization of business elites based on a single cohesive business cluster could facilitate coordination to finance political parties, which gives them more strength to demand government posts. On the other side, the absence of connections between business elites makes it difficult to reach agreements and weaken business influence. Fiscales de partidos políticos externan apoyo al TSE por resultados de segunda vuelta. Es independiente y por consiguiente no supeditado a organismo alguno del Estado. Findings suggest that networking among some (not all) business elites can be a source that precedes state capture, as it organizes access to the state through collective mobilization of resources and coordinated action planning. El Tribunal Supremo Electoral es la máxima autoridad en materia electoral. Originality: This paper is the first study on networks of interlocking directorates in Central American economies and combines original data on contributions to electoral campaigns and revolving doors. ![]() Therefore, it can be a benchmark for future studies on business power. In addition, this study introduces the analysis of interlocking directorates in the literature on state capture.
