The [Oxford] Handbook of the Sociology of Global Elites, Gebunden

Klappentext

This handbook provides the most comprehensive portraits of elites across the globe. In an area of study where there is no agreed methodologies or theoretical perspectives, this Handbook provides a systematic overview which includes most of the most influential writers who have made this area of study such an important part of sociology. Mindful of contemporary events, in which wealthy elites are increasingly politically powerful, we explain how elites exercise power, and how this is coming to challenge the hold of liberal democracy and meritocratic beliefs.
