ENRIQUEZ, LUCRECIA RAQUEL. Cabildos, Elites and Intendants in Chile. Front. hist. [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.2, pp.36-56. ISSN 2027-4688. https://doi.org/10.22380/20274688.954.
This article studies the relationship between intendants and cabildos in Concepción, Talca, and Santiago in late seventeenth-century Chile. It analyzes the local elites' response to the changes in the local governance brought by the new intendancy system (1786). Elites exploited the intendants attributions to gain power for themselves either through conflict or collaboration. The hypothesis is that the new governance regime gave local elites new opportunities to gain power and authority in their homeland, through both its establishment and the relationships forged with the new authorities.
