Description

Explore the complex tension between democratic ideals and the concentration of power in Political Elites in a Democracy. This book addresses the growing gap between the participation of the general public and the predominance of elites within the decision-making process. It examines one of the most significant issues of the modern era: how power is distributed and exercised in a democratic society. Through a collection of perspectives from various political theorists, readers gain insight into the different forms of democratic elitism practiced in the United States. The text provides a deep look at how power holders function within the body politic. You will encounter influential theories, including Harold Lasswell's view on the universal division between elites and the masses, alongside Robert Dahl's analysis of political structures. This work is a valuable resource for those studying political science, history, and the mechanics of modern governance.
