DIAZ BOADA, Lina Constanza. Power Alliances in a Historical Region: the Case of the Pamplona Elite in the Viceroyalty of Nueva Granada, 1795-1808. Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2016, vol.8, n.15, pp.90-128. ISSN 2145-132X. https://doi.org/10.15446/historelo.v8n15.48739.
The social dynamics in Pamplona de Indias, province of the Viceroyalty of Nueva Granada, in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, show the rise and consolidation of the group formed by landowners-traders inserted in the agricultural export circuit having its exit point through the Maracaibo Lake. We discuss the concept historical region explained by social networks, analyzing power alliances established by the Pamplona´s elite during the years 1795 to 1808. The interest of this work is to deepening the comprehension of links based on kinship amongst members of this social elite. Those links enabled them to expand its local network reaching both economic and political insertion in various regional circuits.
