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. How the recruitment to
elites changes in the long run according to class and gender is one
of the core themes of the present volume. Other topics explored
include the relationship between elites and the population,
collective action and elite cohesion, and elites and democracy. The
approach is multinational, with examples provided from countries
around the world. This is a valuable book for social science
students and researchers of many disciplines, including sociology,
political science and psychology. It offers a review on historical
and current research on elites in society and includes an extensive
discussion of class and gender. Examples from countries in
different parts of the world allow for international insights.
