((Short description|Theory of the state))
((Cleanup|date=January 2018|reason=the article has no coherent discussion of the subject, just expert statements in separate microsections))

In [[philosophy]], [[political science]] and [[sociology]], '''elite theory''' is a theory of the State that seeks to describe and explain power relationships in society. The theory posits that a small minority, consisting of members of the [[economic]] elite and [[policy]]making networks, holds the most power—and that this power is independent of democratic elections.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.mathwizurd.com/government/2015/10/12/three-theories-of-american-democracy|title=Three Theories of American Democracy|date=October 12, 2015|website=Mathwizurd))</ref>

Through positions in [[corporation]]s and influence over policymaking networks, through the financial support of foundations or positions with [[think tank]]s, or policy-discussion groups, members of the "elite" exert significant power over corporate and government decisions. The basic characteristics of this theory are that power is concentrated, the elites are unified, the non-elites are diverse and powerless, elites' interests are unified due to common backgrounds, and positions and the defining characteristic of power is institutional position.<ref>((Cite book|title=Political sociology : oppression, resistance, and the state|last=Deric.|first=Shannon|date=2011-01-01|publisher=Pine Forge Press|isbn=9781412980401|oclc=746832550))</ref> Elite theory opposes [[Pluralism (political theory)|pluralism]], a tradition that emphasizes how multiple major social groups and interests have an influence upon and various forms of representation within more powerful sets of rulers, contributing to representative political outcomes that reflect the collective needs of society.

Even when entire groups are ostensibly completely excluded from the state's traditional networks of power (on the basis of arbitrary criteria such as nobility, race, gender, or religion), elite theory recognizes that "counter-elites" frequently develop within such excluded groups. Negotiations between such disenfranchised groups and the state can be analyzed as negotiations between elites and counter-elites. A major problem, in turn, is the ability of elites to [[Co-option|co-opt]] counter-elites.

Democratic systems function on the premise that voting behavior has a direct, noticeable effect on policy outcomes, and that these outcomes are preferred by the largest portion of voters. A study in 2014, correlated voters' preferences to policy outcomes, found that the statistical correlation between the two is heavily dependent on the income brackets of the voting groups.<ref>Gilens, M., & Page, B. (2014). Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens. Perspectives on Politics, 12(3), 564-581. doi:10.1017/S1537592714001595</ref> At the lowest income sampled, the correlation coefficient reached zero, whereas the highest income returned a correlation above 0.6. The conclusion was that there is a strong, linear correlation between the income of voters and how often their policy preferences become reality. The causation for this correlation has not yet been proven in subsequent studies, but is an area of research.

==History==
===Ancient perspective===
[[Polybius]] (~150 B.C.) referred to what we call today Elite Theory as simply "autocracy". He posited with great confidence that all 3 originating forms of sources of political power: one man (monarchy/executive), few men (autocracy), many (democracy) would eventually be corrupted into a debased form of itself, if not balanced in a "mixed government". Monarchy would become "tyranny", democracy would become "mob rule", and rule by elites (autocracy) would become corrupted in what he called "oligarchy".<ref>Polybius.(~150 B.C.) The Rise of the Roman Empire: Book 6. Translated by Ian Scott-Kilvert (1979). Penguin Books; London, England</ref> [[Polybius]] effectively said this is due to a failure to properly apply [[checks and balances]] between the three mentioned forms as well as subsequent political institutions.

===Italian school of elitism<!--'Italian elitism' and 'Italian school of elitism' redirect here-->===
[[Vilfredo Pareto]] (1848–1923), [[Gaetano Mosca]] (1858–1941), and [[Robert Michels]] (1876–1936), were cofounders of the Italian school of elitism<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA-->, which influenced subsequent elite theory in the Western tradition.<ref>Robert A. Nye, ''The Anti-Democratic Sources of Elite Theory: Pareto, Mosca, Michels'', Sage, 1977.</ref><ref>J. J. Chambliss (ed.), ''Philosophy of Education: An Encyclopedia'', Routledge, 2013, p. 179.</ref>

The outlook of the Italian school of elitism is based on two ideas:
# Power lies in position of authority in key economic and political institutions.
# The psychological difference that sets elites apart is that they have personal resources, for instance intelligence and skills, and a vested interest in the government; while the rest are incompetent and do not have the capabilities of governing themselves, the elite are resourceful and strive to make the government work. For, in reality, the elite would have the most to lose in a failed state.

====Vilfredo Pareto====
[[Vilfredo Pareto|Pareto]] emphasized the psychological and intellectual superiority of elites, believing that they were the highest accomplishers in any field. He discussed the existence of two types of elites:
# Governing elites
# Non-governing elites
He also extended the idea that a whole elite can be replaced by a new one and how one can [[Circulation of elite|circulate from being elite to non-elite]].

====Gaetano Mosca====
[[Gaetano Mosca|Mosca]] emphasized the sociological and personal characteristics of elites. He said elites are an organized minority and that the masses are an unorganized majority. The ruling class is composed of the ruling elite and the sub-elites. He divides the world into two groups:

# Political class
# Non-Political class

Mosca asserts that elites have intellectual, moral, and material superiority that is highly esteemed and influential.

====Robert Michels====
Sociologist [[Robert Michels|Michels]] developed the [[Iron Law of Oligarchy|iron law of oligarchy]] where, he asserts, social and political organizations are run by few individuals, and social organization and labor division are key. He believed that all organizations were elitist and that elites have three basic principles that help in the bureaucratic structure of political organization: 
# Need for leaders, specialized staff, and facilities
# Utilization of facilities by leaders within their organization
# The importance of the psychological attributes of the leaders

===Contemporary elite theorists===

====Elmer Eric Schattschneider====
[[Elmer Eric Schattschneider]] offered a strong critique of the American [[political theory]] of [[pluralism (political theory)|pluralism]]: Rather than an essentially democratic system in which the many competing interests of [[citizens]] are amply represented, if not advanced, by equally many competing [[Advocacy group|interest groups]], Schattschneider argued the pressure system is biased in favor of "the most educated and highest-income members of society", and showed that "the difference between those who participate in interest group activity and those who stand at the sidelines is much greater than between voters and nonvoters".<ref>Woolley and Papa 1998, 165</ref>

In ''The Semisovereign People'', Schattschneider argued the scope of the pressure system is really quite small: The "range of organized, identifiable, known groups is amazingly narrow; there is nothing remotely universal about it" and the "business or upper-class bias of the pressure system shows up everywhere". He says the "notion that the pressure system is automatically representative of the whole community is a myth" and, instead, the "system is skewed, loaded and unbalanced in favor of a fraction of a minority".<ref>Schattschneider 1960, 30-36</ref>

====C. Wright Mills====
[[File:C. Wright Mills.jpg|thumb|On the left we have the sociologist C. Wright Mills and on the right we have the writer Saul Landau (at that time his assistant).]]
[[C. Wright Mills|Mills]] published his book ''[[The Power Elite]]'' in 1956, in which he claimed to present a new sociological perspective on systems of power in the United States. He identified a triumvirate of power groups—political, economic and military—which form a distinguishable, although not unified, power-wielding body in the United States.

Mills proposed that this group had been generated through a process of rationalization at work in all advanced industrial societies whereby the mechanisms of power became concentrated, funneling overall control into the hands of a limited, somewhat corrupt group.<ref>((cite book |title=Elites and Society (2nd ed.) |last=Bottomore  |first=T. |year=1993 |publisher=Routledge |location=London |page=25 ))</ref> This reflected a decline in politics as an arena for debate and relegation to a merely formal level of discourse.<ref>((cite book |title=The Power Elite |last=Mills |first=C. Wright |year=1956 |page=[https://archive.org/details/corporatepowerin0000carr/page/274 274] |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=0-19-541759-3 |url=https://archive.org/details/corporatepowerin0000carr/page/274 ))</ref> This macro-scale analysis sought to point out the degradation of democracy in "advanced" societies and the fact that power generally lies outside the boundaries of elected representatives.

A main influence for the study was [[Franz Leopold Neumann]]'s book, ''Behemoth: The Structure and Practice of National Socialism, 1933–1944'', a study of how Nazism came to power in the German democratic state. It provided the tools to analyze the structure of a political system and served as a warning of what could happen in a modern capitalistic democracy.

====Floyd Hunter====
The elite theory analysis of power was also applied on the micro scale in community power studies such as that by [[Floyd Hunter]] (1953). Hunter examined in detail the power of relationships evident in his "Regional City" looking for the "real" holders of power rather than those in obvious official positions. He posited a [[Structural-functionalism|structural-functional]] approach that mapped hierarchies and webs of interconnection within the city—mapping relationships of power between businessmen, politicians, clergy etc. The study was promoted to debunk current concepts of any "democracy" present within urban politics and reaffirm the arguments for a true [[representative democracy]].<ref>((cite book |title=Community Power Structure: A Study of Decision Makers |url=https://archive.org/details/communitypowerst00hunt |url-access=registration |last=Hunter  |first=Floyd  |year=1953 |page=[https://archive.org/details/communitypowerst00hunt/page/6 6] |publisher=University of North Carolina Press |isbn=0-8078-0639-0 ))</ref> This type of analysis was also used in later, larger scale, studies such as that carried out by M. Schwartz examining the power structures within the sphere of the corporate elite in the United States.<ref>((cite book |title=The Structure of Power in America: The Corporate Elite as a Ruling Class |editor-last=Schwartz |editor-first=M.  |year=1987 |publisher=Holmes & Meier |location=New York |isbn=0-8419-0764-1))</ref>

====G. William Domhoff====
In his controversial 1967 book ''[[Who Rules America?]]'', [[G. William Domhoff]] researched local and national decision-making process networks seeking to illustrate the power structure in the United States. He asserts, much like Hunter, that an elite class that owns and manages large income-producing properties (like banks and corporations) dominate the American power structure politically and economically.<ref>((cite book |title=Who Rules America?|last=Domhoff |first=G. William |year=1967 |publisher=McGraw-Hill |isbn=0-7674-1637-6))</ref>

====James Burnham====
[[James Burnham|Burnham's]] early work ''The Managerial Revolution'' sought to express the movement of all functional power into the hands of managers rather than politicians or businessmen—[[Principal–agent problem|separating ownership and control]].<ref>((cite book |title=Elites and Society (2nd ed.) |last=Bottomore  |first=T. |year=1993 |publisher=Routledge |location=London |page=59 ))</ref>

====Robert D. Putnam====
[[Robert D. Putnam|Putnam]] saw the development of technical and exclusive knowledge among administrators and other specialist groups as a mechanism that strips power from the [[democratic process]] and slips it to the advisors and specialists who influence the [[Decision making|decision process]].<ref>((cite journal |last=Putnam  |first=Robert D. |year=1977 |title=Elite Transformation in Advance Industrial Societies: An Empirical Assessment of the Theory of Technocracy |journal=Comparative Political Studies |volume=10 |issue=3 |pages=383–411 (p.385) |doi=10.1177/001041407701000305|s2cid=154141193 ))</ref>
<blockquote>
"If the dominant figures of the past hundred years have been the entrepreneur, the businessman, and the industrial executive, the ‘new men’ are the scientists, the mathematicians, the economists, and the engineers of the new intellectual technology."<ref>((cite book |title=The Comparative Study of Political Elites |last=Putnam |first=Robert D. |year=1976 |publisher=Prentice Hall |location=New Jersey |page=[https://archive.org/details/comparativestudy00putn/page/384 384] |isbn=0-13-154195-1 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/comparativestudy00putn/page/384 ))</ref>
</blockquote>

====Thomas R. Dye====
[[Thomas R. Dye|Dye]] in his book ''Top Down Policymaking'', argues that U.S. [[public policy]] does not result from the "demands of the people", but rather from [[Elitism|elite consensus]] found in [[Washington, D.C.]]-based non-profit foundations, [[think tank]]s, special-interest groups, and prominent [[lobbying]] and [[law firm]]s. Dye's thesis is further expanded upon in his works: ''The Irony of Democracy,'' ''Politics in America,'' ''Understanding Public Policy,'' and ''Who's Running America?''.

====George A. Gonzalez====
In his book ''Corporate Power and the Environment,'' George A. Gonzalez writes on the power of U.S. economic elites to shape environmental policy for their own advantage. In ''The Politics of Air Pollution: Urban Growth, Ecological Modernization and Symbolic Inclusion'' and also in ''Urban Sprawl, Global Warming, and the Empire of Capital'' Gonzalez employs elite theory to explain the interrelationship between [[environmental policy]] and [[urban sprawl]] in America. His most recent work, ''Energy and Empire: The Politics of Nuclear and Solar Power in the United States'' demonstrates that economic elites tied their advocacy of the nuclear energy option to post-1945 American foreign policy goals, while at the same time these elites opposed government support for other forms of energy, such as solar, that cannot be dominated by one nation.

====Ralf Dahrendorf====
In his book ''Reflections on the Revolution in Europe'',<ref>Dahrendorf, Ralf (1990) Reflections on the Revolution in Europe: In a letter intended to have been sent to a gentleman in Warsaw. New York: Random House</ref> [[Ralf Dahrendorf]] asserts that, due to advanced level of competence required for political activity, a political party tends to become, actually, a provider of "political services", that is, the administration of local and governmental public offices. During the electoral campaign, each party tries to convince voters it is the most suitable for managing the state business. The logical consequence would be to acknowledge this character and openly register the parties as service providing companies. In this way, the ruling class would include the members and associates of legally acknowledged companies and the "class that is ruled" would select by election the state administration company that best fits its interests.

====Martin Gilens and Benjamin I. Page====
In their [[statistical analysis]] of 1,779 policy issues professors Martin Gilens and [[Benjamin Page]] found that "economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence."<ref>((cite news |title=Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-27074746 |access-date=24 October 2022 |work=BBC News |date=17 April 2014))</ref><ref>[http://www.princeton.edu/~mgilens/Gilens%20homepage%20materials/Gilens%20and%20Page/Gilens%20and%20Page%202014-Testing%20Theories%203-7-14.pdf Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens] (Fall 2014)</ref> Critics cited by [[Vox.com]] argued, using the same dataset, that when the rich and middle class disagreed, the rich got their preferred outcome 53 percent of the time and the middle class got what they wanted 47 percent of the time. Some critics disagree with Gilens and Pages' headline conclusion, but do believe that the dataset confirms "the rich and middle (class) are effective at blocking policies that the poor want".<ref>((cite news |last1=Matthews |first1=Dylan |title=Remember that study saying America is an oligarchy? 3 rebuttals say it's wrong. |url=https://www.vox.com/2016/5/9/11502464/gilens-page-oligarchy-study |access-date=24 October 2022 |work=Vox |date=9 May 2016 |language=en))</ref>

====Thomas Ferguson====
The political scientist [[Thomas Ferguson (academic)|Thomas Ferguson]]'s [[Investment theory of party competition|Investment Theory of Party Competition]] can be thought of as an elite theory. Set out most extensively in his 1995 book ''Golden Rule: The Investment Theory of Party Competition and the Logic of Money-driven Political Systems'', the theory begins by noting that in modern political systems the cost of acquiring political awareness is so great that no citizen can afford it.<ref>((cite book|last1=Ferguson|first1=Thomas|title=Golden Rule : The Investment Theory of Party Competition and the Logic of Money-Driven Political Systems|url=https://archive.org/details/goldenruleinvest00ferg|url-access=registration|date=1995|publisher=University of Chicago Press|location=Chicago|isbn=0226243176))</ref> As a consequence, these systems tend be dominated by those who can, most typically elites and corporations. These elites then seek to influence politics by 'investing' in the parties or policies they support through political contributions and other means such as endorsements in the media.((cn|date=August 2023))
