Description
Political Elites in a Democracy explores the fundamental tension between democratic ideals and the reality of elite-driven decision-making in modern governance. This collection brings together an impressive array of political theorists who present conflicting perspectives on democratic elitism as practised in the United States. The book examines how power holders shape the political landscape, with contributors like Harold Lasswell defining political elites as the power holders of the body politic and discussing the universal division between elite and mass structures. Through rigorous academic analysis, the work addresses one of the potentially explosive issues of the contemporary era: the vast and growing disparity between elite predominance in decision-making processes and the democratic principle that citizens should participate in decisions affecting their lives. Essential reading for students of political theory, governance, and democratic institutions.
