Why do some elites survive while others do not? how do certain institutions manage to preserve their importance in the face of crises, instability, and change? how does a democratic society legitimize elitist institutions? combining the use of important social theories--particularly those of mosca, schumpeter, tocqueville, and pareto--with empirical analysis, ezra suleiman tries to answer these questions in his examination of the dominance and stability of france's governing elites. The author draws on original survey data, historical evidence, and specialized documentary sources.
