SOSA IGLESIAS, Eugenio. Transformations in economic, state, elites and the process of democratization and de-democratization: The case of Honduras, 1990-2017. Anuario de Estudios Centroamericanos [online]. 2017, vol.43, pp.125-148. ISSN 2215-4175.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/aeca.v43i0.31554.

In the present article the changes in the economic elites from the years of 1990 until the present time are exposed. The mutations in its composition are evident, the loss of weight in the national scenario of some economic groups such as those dedicated to agro export and the emergence of others in the context of neoliberal globalization, such as the groups dedicated to telecommunications, energy, the financial sector and services in general. In addition, it establishes the relationship between these economic elites and the State, and how processes of de-democratization of Honduran society are taking place.

Keywords : Economic elites; democratization; de-democratization; state; neoliberal globalization; Honduras.
