Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Se asocia el machismo con prácticas caciquiles. En todo municipio “hay un grupo que siempre ha tenido el poder”. Seguramente ese grupo se sintió amenazado: “esa gente suspendió las votaciones". Los métodos y prácticas caciquiles estuvieron a la orden del día.

strongman practices
In a modern context I've always translated 'cacique' as 'strongman', which works as an adjective too. I've used it precisely in reference to machismo.

This is the basic meaning of caciquismo and I think you could use it here. It includes strong-arm tactics (which is more natural English than strongman).
But the concept of a political clique abusing power needs to be spelt out.
