“…Uma proposta interessante veio de , quanto a reputação social como uma das formas de identificação de elites, ampliando a visão pluralista da sociedade, o que reflete a preocupação com o reconhecimento de outros grupos políticos para compor o conceito, além dos que ocupam posições de destaque. No entanto, tal forma bastante criticada para estudos de elites locais (Wolfinger, 1960;D'Antonio e Erickson, 1962;Freeman et al, 1963) passou a ser mais uma estratégia de pesquisa, dado que trabalhos comparativos entre as teses elitistas e pluralistas também receberam atenção (Bachrach;Baratz, 1962;Walker, 1966;Kerbo e Fave, 1979).…”

Este ensaio faz uma revisão da literatura sobre elites políticas, a partir da produção científica nas ciências sociais. Tem como objetivos a) descrever a origem e evolução das correntes teóricometodológicas sobre elites políticas e b) identificar a concepção de elites, os métodos e as tendências dos estudos empíricos. A seleção das obras foi feita a partir de duas características da cienciometria. As obras analisadas foram selecionadas em duas bases de textos nacionais e quatro internacionais e em bibliotecas físicas, utilizando como palavras-chave “elite política” no singular e plural em três idiomas. Os resultados indicam a presença de sucessivos debates metodológicos desde sua origem até a atualidade, e que o volume e a diversidade dos estudos empíricos em regimes democráticos emergentes vêm ganhando destaque, aliado a novos fundamentos metodológicos, o que não vem acontecendo no Brasil. Conclui que muitas questões ainda estão abertas para os estudos sobre o tema e que a controvérsia contribuiu para o desenvolvimento dos estudos, motivada por uma indefinição conceitual e pluralidade metodológica.Palavras-Chave: Elite Política. Clássicos. Métodos. Pluralismo. Elitismo.

“…spiraling outward with given nominations until some arbitrarily chosen number of reputed leaders was found. While this "snowball" method has its supporters (D'Antonio & Erickson, 1962;Ehrlich, 1967;Freeman et al, 1963), especially because it is easy and inexpensive, others have strongly attacked it as unsound and inaccurate (Polsby, 1962;Bonjean, 1963;Bonjean &Olson, 1964).…”

A survey in an unincorporated urban area compared the major community problems of concern to two groups: (a) a randomly selected sample of listed telephone subscribers, and (b) community leaders identified through nominations and reputational methods. In addition to asking about the major problems of the community, the randomly selected telephone subscribers were also asked to indicate for each problem (a) the persons or organizations to whom they looked for information and advice, (b) whom they considered qualified to speak for them, and (c) whom they expected to act in their behalf in the solution of these problems. The results of these surveys showed a large divergence of concerns expressed by the random samples and the reputed community leaders, as well as a striking number of respondents who felt themselves to be without spokesmen.

A method similar to Bonjean's modification of the traditional reputational approach was applied to a study of two small communities within a Southern state. The relative absence of concealed and symbolic leaders suggests that leader visibility is a variable which varies systematically from community to community. Several community characteristics are posited as explanatory variables determining leader visibility.
