Prezados Colegas,

Gostaria de saber a melhor tradução para CORONELISTAS OU NEOCORONELISTAS no seguinte contexto:

"A falta de renovação na política tornou-se crônica. A ocupação dos espaços políticos por lideranças CORONELISTAS OU NEOCORONELISTAS matou o nascimento de uma geração de políticos."

Meu primeiro pensamento foi traduzir a expressão como Old Leadearship ou Old Leaders and their current representatives (não estou inspirada neste momento).

Desde já agradeço-lhes a valiosíssima ajuda!!

Abraço cordial,
Irene Berlin

Explanation:
Conforme comentado anteriormente, sugiro adicionar uma nota de rodapé que faça referência aos "coronéis" no Brasil.

"Coronelismo (Portuguese pronunciation: [koɾoneˈlismu]) was the Brazilian political machine during the Old Republic (1889-1930), also known as the "rule of the coronels (sic)", responsible for the centralization of the political power in the hands of a locally dominant oligarch, known as a coronel, who would dispense favors in return for loyalty."

"Oligarchy (from Greek ὀλιγαρχία (oligarkhía); from ὀλίγος (olígos), meaning 'few', and ἄρχω (arkho), meaning 'to rule or to command') is a form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people. These people may be distinguished by nobility, wealth, family ties, education or corporate, religious or military control."
