The way corporate elites exercise political domination in Latin America, a debate which have had centrality in the thinking of our region, is once again an object of interrogation in numerous researches with various approaches since the first decade of the 21st. century. However, there are few analyses in Latin-American comparative perspective which address a recent situation as is purposed here. This work seeks to analyze comparatively the existing relation between corporate elites and ministerial recruitment in Argentina and Brazil during the 2015-2019 period, reconstructing the national ministerial cabinets of Mauricio Macri (2015-2019) and Michel Temer (2016-2018) administrations, characterizing them and systematizing the presence of officials bonded to corporate elites according to their educational, political and professional trajectories, and inscribing these in a socio historical scope which considers long lasting variables such as the state and its bureaucracies characteristics, their political systems and the changes of the economical and productive structures in both cases. As part of an ongoing research, is sustained on a quantitative methodology which uses as source the database developed in the Latin American Electoral Observatory, in the Social Sciences Faculty at the Buenos Aires’ University. In this way, concludes that there are similarities and differences between the patterns of recruitment in the selected cases.
