Spremembe v notranjem krogu omrežja slovenske ekonomske elite v letih 2004–2006
Transformations in the inner circle of the network of the Slovenian economic elite between 2004 and 2006

Summary/Abstract: According to common belief it is the economic elite which has an influence on the political elite. The alternation of political authority in Slovenia and consequential changes in the network of the economic elite shows that in specific historic circumstances the political elite may dominate over the economic elite. If we use some of the tools provided by social network analysis and compare the most cohesive parts of the network which existed in 2004 with the one which existed in 2006, we find that the changes in the network run very deep. Since the alternation of the political elite, the ‘inner circle’ (Useem) of the economic elite has disintegrated and a new ‘inner circle’ of the economic elite has been appearing.
