Preface

Editorial

Abstract

The second annual almanac “Power and Elites” largely follows an established tradition. It introduces readers to the discussions that took place at our annual seminar on the problems of the sociology of power. But not only that. A seminar is an event that gives food for thought. The debates and exchanges of opinions that take place not only in connection with, about and during the sessions of the seminar, but also behind the scenes and after the event are often very fruitful. However, the articles published in this volume are not only the result of scholarly conversations per se, but also of scientific research at the table and “in the field.”
