    The political-sociological chimera : elite analysis in contemporary brazilian political science
    (2016-04) Leite, Fernando; Tribunal Superior Eleitoral
    Explores the situation of Elite Analysis in contemporary Brazilian Political Science. We argue that Elite Analysis occupies an ambiguous position because its theoretical basis at the same time approximates and distances itself from the dominant tendencies of contemporary Political Science, like focus and causal autonomy of political institutions, incorporation of orthodox scientific attributes, and predominant masculine authorship. Elite Analysis is largely interested in political institutions but have a tendency to treat them as an order dependent on societal factors. Also, this ambiguity reflects on the formation of the authors. A great deal of them is graduated in programs of Social Sciences, another in programs of Political Science. Elite Analysis ends up dislocated both in Political Science and in Sociology. This may call for the institutionalization of Political Sociology in Brazil.
