20.500.12556/RUL-5501 Transition elites: catalysts of social innovation or rent-seekers? Proceeding from a synthetic overview of findings related to elite research in almost all the countries in Eastern and Central Europe, the authors try to discern the patterns of elite reproduction and /or circulation. They are especially interested in the impact of these patterns on the type and quality of democracy as well as on socio-economic modernisation. Taking Slovenia as a case study, they begin with an analysis of the multifaceted phenomenon of retention elite and draw attention to the importance of the differentiation of (political) elite and an emergent balance between dominant(retention) and new elite. As far as future process of elite formation is concerned, they argue - also polemically with authors such as Higley - that at least in the case of small social (national) systems, the model of cognitive oriented elite (or elite with high learning capacity) is more functional than the model of (pure) power and acquisitive elite. true false false Angleški jezik Neznan jezik Delo ni kategorizirano 2014-07-11 12:48:06 2014-07-11 12:48:06 2022-04-23 03:40:02 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2000 0 0 Str. 223-245 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 316 0352-3608 20049245 20181597 http://dk.fdv.uni-lj.si/dr/dr32-33adamtomsic.PDF 1 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=5501 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
