"Elites and Influences in Argentina 2023-2025"

 

Abstract:

In this presentation, we’ll analyze the relationship between economic elites with the government during 2023-2025 in Argentina. Our hypothesis is that the economic elites in Argentina are fragmented and have different types of structural power and instrumental power. Even when there was an agreement among elites on the general economic direction, sectoral policies have had diverse effects, so the relationship with the government is different.

"Political, Economic, and Cultural Elites in Spain from the Late 19th Century to the Present."

 

Abstract:

The formation of the elites in Spain has been strongly influenced by the prolonged and late process of modernization of the country. This conference tries to explore the sociological determinants that have shaped the Spanish elites. To this end, it analyzes the status of Spanish elites across three distinct epochs: from the late 19th century to the Spanish Civil War, during General Franco's dictatorship, and from the democratic transition to the present day. Each period will be scrutinized to discern the composition and structure of these elites, categorized into political, economic, and cultural spheres. Additionally, the interplay and conflicts between these elite categories and broader society will be delineated. Special consideration will be given to the position of women as a marginalized group within the elites.
