How do they enter, circulate within and leaving from elite of power? We return to the power elite theories of Wright Mills and John Scott due to the importance of the institutions where power lies and where the country's momentous decisions are made. We use Pareto's idea of circulation of elites because it fits with some features of those who enter to the power elite. It is also useful to understand certain antidemocratic practices used by the political class in order to stay in power. |
