| description | This article examines the deployment of business power in Chile in a specific space such as the think tank Centro de Estudios Públicos (CEP). According to data from the year 2021, there are 79 companies, legal entities, and individuals that made an annual donation to the institution. This number of donors motivates the main objective of this article: to analyze the corporate power structure that is interlaced around this think tank and the companies that finance it. Regarding the methodology, social network analysis has been used to identify how corporate networks are organized when companies share directors and advisors (interlocking directorates). Respecting to the results, two fundamental questions are answered: 1) which are the central companies in the corporate network of the CEP's financiers? and 2) who are the closest and intermediate directors and advisors of this net of CEP funders? The leadership of economic groups like Angelini, Matte, and Luksic in the corporate network shows how these relations are intertwined. In addition, it exhibits how 40 directors of the CEP held positions in companies that provide economic stimulus to the think tank. Finally, it is concluded about the reticular structure of the power of productive elites in Chile and their consequences related to the resilience of neoliberalism in this country. |

En este artículo se examina el despliegue del poder empresarial en Chile en el espacio concreto del Centro de Estudios Públicos (CEP). Según datos del año 2021, son 79 las empresas, personas jurídicas y personas naturales que aportaron una donación anual a esta institución. Esta cifra de donantes motiva el objetivo principal de este artículo: analizar la estructura de poder corporativo que se teje alrededor de este think tank y de las empresas que lo financian. Para ello, se responden dos preguntas fundamentales: ¿cuáles son las empresas centrales en la red corporativa de los financiadores del CEP? y ¿cuáles son los directores y consejeros más representativos de esta red corporativa de los financiadores del CEP? Metodológicamente se ha utilizado el análisis de redes sociales que permite identificar cómo se organizan las redes corporativas cuando las empresas comparten directorios y consejeros (interlocking directorates). En este marco, se discute el liderazgo de los grupos económicos Angelini, Matte y Luksic en la red corporativa tejida alrededor de este think tank; además, se demuestra cómo hasta 40 consejeros directivos del CEP ocupan cargos en empresas que lo financian. Por último, se concluye que la estructuración reticular del poder de los grupos económicos en Chile ha traído consecuencias relacionadas con la resiliencia del neoliberalismo en el país. Este artigo examina a implantação do poder empresarial no Chile no espaço específico do Centro de Estudos Públicos (CEP). Segundo dados do ano de 2021, são 79 empresas, pessoas jurídicas e físicas que fizeram uma doação anual a esta instituição. Esse número de doadores motiva o objetivo principal deste artigo: analisar a estrutura de poder corporativo que se tece em torno desse think tank e as empresas que o financiam. Para isso, duas questões fundamentais são respondidas: quais são as empresas centrais da rede corporativa de financiadores do CEP? E, quem são os diretores e assessores mais representativos dessa rede corporativa de financiadores do CEP? Metodologicamente, a análise de redes sociais tem sido utilizada para identificar como as redes corporativas são organizadas quando as empresas compartilham diretórios e diretores (interlocking directorates). Nesse quadro, discute-se a liderança dos grupos econômicos Angelini, Matte e Luksic na rede corporativa tecida em torno desse think tank. Além disso, demonstra-se como até 40 diretores do CEP ocupam cargos em empresas que o financiam. Por fim, conclui-se que a estruturação reticular do poder dos grupos econômicos no Chile trouxe consequências relacionadas à resiliência do neoliberalismo no país.
