Das Buch untersucht, weshalb der Elite-Begriff erst nach 1945 in Deutschland eine tragende Rolle zur Beschreibung der politisch-sozialen Ordnung spielte. "Elite" wird dabei als eine bestimmte Form des Meinungswissens über die Ordnung der Gesellschaft verstanden, das im Wesentlichen auf vier Annahmen basiert: 1. Jede Gesellschaft zerfällt in die Elite und die Nicht-Elite. 2. Die Elite bildet den (einzig) relevanten Teil einer Gesellschaft. 3. Eliten werden sozial wirksam durch die Herstellung eines Konsenses, nicht durch Unterwerfung. 4. Elite-Mitglieder werden in Systemen der Leistungsauslese unter Konkurrenzbedingungen ausgewählt. Damit wurde der westdeutschen Gesellschaft genau die stabile politisch-ideelle Ordnung gegeben, die den politischen Systemen seit 1871 fehlte.

Vergleich der Eliten: das zeigt auch Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede der Gesellschaften in Deutschland und Frankreich. Der neue zweite Band stellt alte und neue städtische Eliten, religiöse, politisch-parlamentarische und freiberufliche sowie Vereins-Eliten in den Mittelpunkt. Damit knüpft das Deutsch-Französische Historikerkomitee an den 1994 erschienenen ersten Band über militärische, ökonomische und diplomatische Eliten in beiden Ländern an. Beide Bände zusammen dokumentieren einen Schwerpunkt der sozialgeschichtlichen Forschung in Deutschland und Frankreich. Gleichzeitig zeigen sie einen zentralen Bereich der für die deutsch-französischen Beziehungen im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert maßgeblichen Entwicklung.

This book offers the first full-length treatment of Joseph Schumpeter's political thought. Schumpeter's theory of democracy as a competition among elites has influenced several generations of political scientists, but this book is the first to show that Schumpeter also conceived of democracy as a powerful transformative tendency leading toward the establishment of democratic socialism. Deploring this prospect, he theorized elite-dominated forms of society in which democratic change could be reined in. The contrasts between the two perspectives are striking. The neglected transformative view, which this book expounds, stressed the importance of democratic beliefs and ideology, whereas the elite conception minimized their significance. The transformative perspective highlighted the radicalizing, dynamic effects of movements that attempt to realize democratic values and act upon democratic ideologies, while the better-known elite model depicted democracy in static terms and as institutionally stable. Despite the sharp contrasts, both perspectives were part of Schumpeter's complex and deeply conservative response to political change in his lifetime. Precisely because he viewed democracy as a potent transformative social force, he labored strenuously to theorize a form of society in which elites could restrain the pace and nature of democratic change.

What equality means in three modern democracies, both to leaders of important groups and to challengers of the status quo, is the subject of this wide-ranging canvass of perceptions and policy. It is based on extensive questionnaire data gathered from leaders in various segments of society in each countrybusiness, labor unions, farm organizations, political parties, the media-as well as from groups that are seeking greater equalityfeminists, black leaders in the United States, leaders of the Burakumin in Japan. The authors describe the extent to which the same meanings of equality exist, both within and across nations, and locate the areas of consensus and conflict over equality. No other book has compared data of this sort for these purposes. The authors address several major substantive and theoretical issues: the role of values in relation to egalitarian outcomes; the comparison of values and perceptions about equality in economics (income equality) and politics (equality of influence); and the difference among the nations in the ways political institutions affect the incorporation of new demands for equality into the policymaking process. They pay particular attention to how policy is set on issues of gender equality. This book will be controversial, for some see no room in the understanding of political economy for the analysis of values. It will be consulted by a general audience interested in politics and culture as well as by social scientists. Elites and the Idea of Equality is an informative sequel to Equality in America by Sidney Verba and Gary R. Orren (Harvard University Press), which considers similar topics in a national context.
