The representation of business elites in regional politics. Etatism, elitism, and clientelism
P. 184–206.
Business and politics are closely connected. Many members of the business elite are members of influential interest groups. In democratic polyarchies, western students of political science have noted the disproportionate influence

К числу последних относится, например, деятельность, связанная с ликвидацией разного рода катастроф. Возросшая сложность технологий ...
