Circulation at the Top
Despite calls for bridging the gap between the sociology of social class and the sociology of elites, there are few examples where this actually has been done. This article seeks to do so by applying approachesand statistical techniques commonly used in studies of social mobility in an analysis of circulation mobility in elite formations. Based on register data on the whole Norwegian population born 1955-1975, we analyze the educational and profe…
New Directions in Elite Studies
Since the financial crisis, the issue of the ‘one percent’ has become the centre of intense public debate, unavoidable even for members of the elite themselves. Moreover, inquiring into elites has taken centre-stage once again in both journalistic investigations and academic research

Héritiers et outsiders
Cet article traite de la contribution de la théorie des champs de Pierre Bourdieu à des études comparatives du champ du pouvoir dans différents pays. En retenant, comme cas empirique, l'exemple de la Norvège, il traite des difficultés méthodologiques que comporte la mise en évidence des structures de l'espace social et du champ du pouvoir. Ensuite, il insiste sur la différence essentielle, mais souvent négligée, entre généralisation empirique et …
Social Capital in the Field of Power
This paper analyses social capital structures in the field of power, based on data from the Norwegian Power and Democracy Survey on elites. Separating between objectified, institutionalised, embodied, and inherited social capital, and inspired by Bourdieu's approach, we analyse the relations between social capital and the other forms of capital by way of specific multiple correspondence analysis and ascending hierarchical cluster analysis. First,…

Using data from the Norwegian Power & Democracy survey on elites, conducted in 2000, it specifically seeks to uncover the main dimensions and fractions in the Norwegian field of power. Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) has been used to address this issue. The three main findings are these: firstly, our results show that the three…

Ekonomikos Sociologija - praeitis ir dabartis, žvilgsnis į ateitį
The article aims to discuss the 'New Economic Sociology' by developing a comparative analysis of two sociological approaches: the New Economic Sociology and the Societal Approach. The author takes his departure in a historical overview of the development of the New Economic Sociology, central to which are the ideas of Mark Granovetter and Rose whose critique of the Societal Approach is similar to Granovetter's programme. The author suggests that …
Trade Unions - Resource or Regulation
In the first part of the article an attempt is made to locate the trade unions' position in their various relations to the buyers of labor in a capitalist economy. The position is considered a contradictory one, and the concept of the trade unions' double position is used to designate this position. The concept of the trade unions' double function refers to the consequences of their activity in this position. Given this designation of the trade u…
