GUEST EDITORIAL

Theoretical and methodological pathways for research on elites

Bruno Cousin, Shamus Khan, and Ashley Mears  

In this introductory essay to the special issue on elites, 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. Theoretically the authors make four recommendations: (a) greater attentiveness to and specificity about the relationship between elites and power; (b) a clearer articulation of the relationships between elites 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 frame- works. Methodologically the authors outline how research using survey instruments, social network analysis (SNA) (and multiple correspondence analysis), interviews, ethno- graphic observation, experiments, archival research, administrative data and con- tent analysis can each be deployed, built upon or redirected to help bring elites into greater focus
