Since the beginning of the current era of imperialism in the late nineteenth century, there has been a striking contrast between bourgeois political thought in Germany and the West. Walter Struve demonstrates how German political culture went through a phase in which great emphasis was placed on the establishment of a new political elite recruited on the basis of merit and skill, but ruling in an authoritarian way, and not controlled by the populace. He suggests that this type of elitism, many aspects of which were vital to the political culture of Nazi Germany, seems today to be widespread i.

The recent deaths of four long-term heads of state in the Arab world heralded important changes, as political power passed from one generation to the next. Shedding light on these changes, Arab Elites explores the attitudes and political agendas of the new leadership emerging throughout the region. A strong analytical framework informs the authors' discussion of elites in Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the Palestinian National Authority, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Tunisia. The result is a portrait of the current state, and likely future, of politics in the Arab Middle East.

Taking readers on a fascinating and often surprising look inside the manor homes and vacation villas of wealthy post-World War II Hungarians, Majtényi offers fresh insight into the realities of patriarchy, loyalty, gender, and class within the communist regime.

The globalization of capital has fostered a 'below the radar' global elite that occasionally surfaces at global events, such as Davos and the Bilderberg gatherings. Global Elites: The Opaque Nature of Transnational Policy Determination draws attention to the extensive reach of an emergent ruling class of political, financial and corporate interests. This original collection from internationally renowned authors captures the nature of elites across varying cultural regimes. In this text, the rich history of elites and their shaping of world affairs, even in times of rudimentary technology, is balanced by insightful studies of elites today. The rich, the famous, the entrepreneurial and even the migrants are scrutinised. The critical question is what do elites really contribute? Certainly their philanthropic effort is evident, but so too is their inclination for self absorption. This expoš of the global class is penetratingly illuminating, especially the conclusion that chaos could be the order of the day, if global elite networks lacked cohesion.

The literature on China's social stratification and mobility has discussed the roles of family background and an individual's education attainment. This article aims to extend the existing literature by examining the interplay of these two aspects in fostering a homogeneous group of scientists, the members (yuanshi) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS,Zhongguo kexueyuan). Since its establishment in 1955, honorific CAS membership has been awarded to outstanding Chinese scientists in their respective fields. As of the end of 1997, a total of 859 Chinese natural scientists, including 40 women, had been elected to the five Academic Divisions of the CAS – Mathematics and Physics, Chemistry, Biological Sciences, Earth Sciences, and Technological Sciences (Table 1) – of whom 610 were alive. They have been renowned, nationally if not internationally, for their academic achievements and contributions, and they have a reputation and prestige similar to those enjoyed by their counterparts in other countries, such as members of the National Academy of Sciences in the United States and fellows of the Royal Society in Britain. Because the occupational prestige of scientists is very high in China, as it is in other countries, and following similar research on the scientific elite, it is reasonable to define CAS members as the Chinese scientific elite.

Aus der Einleitung: Diese Untersuchung befaßt sich mit den Wandlungen der deutschen Elite. Sie will damit einen Beitrag zur empirischen Eliteforschung liefern. Sie bearbeitet dabei einen historischen Gegenstand mit soziologischen Methoden und Kategorien und diskutiert die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen dieses Ansatzes. Die drei elementaren Fragen hierbei: Wie haben sich Spitzenpositionen der deutschen Gesellschaft in der Zeit von 1919 bis 1961 entwickelt und verändert? Welche Personen und Gruppen haben die Spitzenpositionen besetzt, wie verlief ihr Aufstieg und wie sah ihr Abgang aus? Welches sind die sozialen Merkmale der Führungsgruppen in der Weimarer Republik, im Dritten Reich und in der Bundesrepublik? Dies wird anhand eines Samples von mehr als 2000 Personen untersucht, die zwischen 1919 und 1961 rund 300 ausgewählte Spitzenpositionen eingenommen hatten.
