Publisher description
Using a theoretical and empirical approach, this book investigates the structure and impact of political elites in contemporary democracies. It looks at two assumptions of the inevitability of political elites and the necessity of their constant adjustment to social and political challenges in order to survive and resolves this by addressing perspectives on the possible decline of elite autonomy. The core argument being that structure and behavior of political elites is the outcome of social and political development interaction constituting challenges and strategies to cope.
The book includes contributions from reputable scholars in the field of elite research and presents comparative case studies by area 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 European Politics, political elites, democracy, comparative politics and political participation
