  We investigate the emergence of localized coherent behavior in a system
consisting of two populations of social agents possessing a condition for
non-interacting states, mutually coupled through global interaction fields. As
an example of such dynamics, we employ Axelrod's model for social influence.
The global interaction fields correspond to the statistical mode of the states
of the agents in each population. We find localized coherent states for some
values of parameters, consisting of one population in a homogeneous state and
the other in a disordered state. This situation can be considered as a social
analogue to a chimera state arising in two interacting populations of
oscillators. In addition, other asymptotic collective behaviors appear
depending on parameter values: a common homogeneous state, where both
populations reach the same state; different homogeneous states, where both
population reach homogeneous states different from each other; and a disordered
state, where both populations reach inhomogeneous states.
