Aunque en América Latina, los sistemas de partidos no se estructuraron directamente ligado a los clivajes sociales, de todos modos, las transformaciones sociales tendieron a producir fuertes impactos en la representación política. Los modos de organización fueron adoptando un aspecto progresivamente individualizado; las organizaciones de masas tendieron a ser reemplazadas por organizaciones de cuadros o élites;

organizations (comprised) of party bosses

Explanation:
...and elites.

If the parties of the masses were truly replaced, then the 'cuadros' would be more like the (powerful) 'party bosses' than the rank-and-file (who would be included in the masses).

This meaning of 'cuadros' is consistent with definition 5 below:

cuadro(Del lat. quadrum, cuadrado.)
1. s. m. ARTE, PINTURA Pintura, dibujo o grabado enmarcado que sirve para adornar una pared les regaló un cuadro de Gauguin.
2. Refuerzo que cubre los bordes de algunos objetos para protegerlos y adornarlos. marco
3. Cuadrilátero que tiene los lados iguales y los ángulos rectos lleva un vestido de cuadros. cuadrado
4. Conjunto de nombres, cifras u otros datos presentados gráficamente, de manera que se advierta la relación existente entre ellos el cuadro de ventas demuestra que el año ha sido bueno. cuadro sinóptico, esquema, sinopsis
**5. ADMINISTRACIÓN Conjunto de mandos de una empresa, de un ejército o de la administración pública.**
https://es.thefreedictionary.com/cuadro

Possible (fairly literal) rendering:

The mode of organization adopted a progressively/increasingly individualized aspect, as the organizations of the masses tended to be replaced by organizations (comprised) of party bosses and elites.
