Abstract

Examines the dynamics of elite division & emergent elite convergence in Slovakia, with the former explored following the 1989 democratic transition & elite unity & differentiation addressed during the third (1994-1998) Meciar government. Analysis of the 1998 election & May 1999 presidential election sheds light on future developments regarding Slovak elites & democracy. It is concluded that a gradual, yet frail convergence toward elite unity was occurring. The risks concomitant with the pre- & posttransition elite fragmentation were lessening; thus, the Slovak regime was coalescing toward a more stable democracy. 42 References. J. Zendejas
