Bruno Cousin, +2 more
- 01 Apr 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline some of the major challenges to research in this area and propose a series of theoretical and methodological pathways to address them and make four recommendations: (a) greater attentiveness to and specificity about the relationship between elites and power; (b) a clearer articulation of the relationships between elite and the varieties of capitalism; (c) far more attention to diversity within elites and the use of elites to understand forms of domination like white supremacy and masculine domination; and (d) expanding beyond the orthodox form of Bourdieusian theoretical frameworks.
