“…Since the 1990s, the parliament underwent a professionalization process and elected officials sat less in other organizations (Pilotti, 2017 ), while academia became more autonomous from political and economic powers, for example, for professors’ appointment (Horvath, 1996 ). Neo‐corporatist processes through expert committees declined in importance (Beetschen & Rebmann, 2016 ). We add to the description of Swiss elites by exploring how these changes and periodization are reflected in the structure and composition of the central circles in elite networks in terms of sectoral representation.…”

This article focuses on historical elite dynamics and investigates elites' integration over time. We describe the changing relations and composition of the central circles in Swiss elite networks at seven benchmark years between 1910 and 2015 by relying on 22,262 elite individuals tied to 2587 organizations among eight key sectors, and identify for each year the most connected core of individuals. We explore network cohesion and sectoral bridging of the elite core and find that it moved from being a unitary corporate elite, before 1945, to an integrated corporatist elite, between the 1950s and 1980s, before fragmenting into a loose group, with an increased importance of corporate elites, in the 1990s onwards. The core was always dominated by business and their forms of legitimacy but, at times of crisis to the hegemony of corporate elites, after the Second World War and (only) shortly after the 2008 financial crisis, elite circles expanded and included individuals with delegated forms of power, such as politicians and unionists. In the most recent cohort (2015), the share of corporate elites in the core is similar to the one before the First World War and during the interwar period. This return to the past echoes findings on wealth inequality and economic capital accumulation by a small group of individuals organized around the most powerful companies.

“…Professors increasingly relied on cosmopolitan scientific resources and had less relations in the Swiss space (Rossier et al 2015;Rossier and Bühlmann 2018). Neo-corporatist processes through expert committees declined in importance (Beetschen and Rebmann 2016). However, new groups were included in the elites -since the 1990s the number of women started to increase (Ginalski 2020) -and new forms of expertise and cohesion emerged, such as economics and management diplomas (Emery et al 2014;Mach et al 2016;Rossier et al 2017).…”

This article focuses on historical elite dynamics and investigates elites’ integration over time. We describe the changing relations and composition of the central circles in Swiss elite networks at seven benchmark years between 1910 and 2015 by relying on 22,262 elite individuals tied to 2587 organisations among eight key sectors, and identify for each year the most connected core of individuals. We explore network cohesion and sectoral bridging of the elite core and find that it moved from being a unitary corporate elite following family-based elite reproduction, before 1945, to an integrated corporatist elite involved in educational and professional-based reproduction, between the 1950s and 1980s, before fragmenting into a loose group in the 1990s onwards. The core was always dominated by business and their forms of legitimacy but, at times of crisis to the hegemony of corporate elites, elite circles expanded and included individuals with delegated forms of power, such as politicians and unionists, detaining more university credentials, and less transnational connections and elite family ties.
