Comparative Studies of Social and Political Elites

by Fredrik Engelstad and Trygve Gulbranssen

How can the existence of elites be compatible with democratic governance? Any democratic society is inevitably confronted by this basic question. This book reviews existing research on elites and their interactions with those around them. It looks at how the recruitment to elites changes in the long run according to class and gender.
