Contemporary Western societies are witnessing ground-breaking
social, economic and political changes at an accelerating pace.
These changes are challenging the way democracy works and the role
that political elites play in this system of government. Using a
theoretical and empirical approach, this volume argues that
political elites are urged to develop new strategies in order to
achieve interest aggregation, to safeguard collective action, and
to maintain elite autonomy and stability. The adaptive capacities
of political elites are assessed through case studies, comparative
and longitudinal analyses of their social structure, their
recruitment patterns, and their attitudes. The book includes
contributions from reputable scholars in the field of elite
research and specialists on individual political systems across
Europe and the US. It provides an analytical framework
demonstrating that political elites are inevitable and potentially
able to respond successfully to varying challenges. The book will
be of key interest to scholars and students of political elites,
democracy, comparative politics, political participation and
European Politics.
