          Abstract

          Resumen En este artículo se analiza el predominio de las élites, retomando el caso empírico de Guatemala y contribuye a la literatura que busca explicar la resiliencia de órdenes estatales excluyentes. La investigación se apoya en las contribuciones teórico-metodológicas de René Zavaleta y la perspectiva gramsciana del Estado integral con el objetivo de comprender la hegemonía de las élites en tres dimensiones analíticas: a) la defensa de privilegios a partir del control instrumental sobre los principales procesos y mecanismos institucionales; b) los esfuerzos para integrar de manera subalterna y selectiva a fragmentos de la sociedad civil a sus proyectos; c) la disposición a recurrir a mecanismos estatales y paraestatales violentos para contrarrestar las expresiones antagonistas de la sociedad civil. Se sostiene que la combinación -con un peso cambiante- de estas tres estrategias amparadas en una cultura política que actualiza nociones de diferenciación social y privilegio, permite descifrar con detalle la configuración hegemónica guatemalteca.

          Abstract This article analyzes the dominance of elites, retaking the empirical case of Guatemala and contributes of the literature that seeks to explain the resilience of exclusionary state orders. The research is based on the theoretical-methodological contributions of René Zabaleta and the Gramscian perspective of the Integral State with the aim of understand the hegemony of the elites in three analytical dimensions: a) the defense of privileges based on instrumental control over the main processes and institutional mechanisms; b) the efforts to the subordinately and selectively integrate fragments of civil society into their projects; c) the disposition to resort to violent state and para-state mechanisms to counteract the antagonistic expressions of civil society. It is argued that the combination -with a changing weight- of these three strategies protected by a political culture that updates notions of social differentiation and privilege, lets decrypt with detail the Guatemalan hegemonic configuration.
