This data contains the full network of 35 members of the Mexican power elite. The undirected lines connecting pairs of men represent any formal, informal, or organizational relation between a dyad; for example, “common belonging (school, sports, business, political participation), or a common interest (political power)” (Mendieta et al. 1997: 37). Additional nodal attributes include their full name, place of birth, state, and region (1=North, 2=Centre, 3=South, original coding added by Frank Heber), as well as their year of entry into politics and whether they are civilian (0) or affiliated with the military (1). An additional variable "in_mpn" can be used to subset this network to a network of 11 core members of the 1990s Mexican power elite (Knoke 2017), three of which were successively elected presidents of Mexico: José López Portillo (1976-82), Miguel de la Madrid (1982-88), and Carlos Salinas de Gortari (1988-94, who was also the son of another core member, Raúl Salinas Lozano).
