Elite Transformation and Modes of Representation since the Mid-Nineteenth Century: Some Theoretical Considerations
HEINRICH BEST AND MAURIZIO COTTA 1. ROKKANS CHALLENGE It is now approximately thirty years since Stein Rokkan developed his theoretical framework and empirical grid for a comparative study of nation building and state formation in Western Europe. His systematizations became the intellectual guideline for several generations of sociologists and political scientists and the point of departure for numerous research projects in comparative political sociology. In Rokkans conceptual framework, political elites formed a central object of interest because their structure sets the stage for the formation of sociopolitical coalitions, which are in turn the decisive, explanatory factor for the variations among European party systems. In his initial proposal for a grid of indicators for the comparative study of political development, there was already a section on the recruitment of elite groups. Recruitment patterns were of particular interest for Rokkan because he maintained that the changing composition of elites reects the processes of social and political mobilization, of societal integration, and the establishment of rules for access to positions and resources in a society (Rokkan 1967). Although in 1967 Rokkan was already able to present an impressive list of databases and ongoing research projects concerning elite groups in various countries, no successful attempt was made to co-ordinate these efforts and establish an integrated database for comparative elite research until recently. Despite a continuing tradition of empirical research, whereby truly comparative studies into the development of the welfare state, the extension of suffrage, and the formation of party systems ourished well, elites remained a white spot in the Rokkanian archipelago. Thus we have a eld of study where the richness of empirical research covering most of the democratic countries and often long-term periods has not been matched by an equally developed exploitation of their potential for the use of comparative analysis. Descriptive and one-country studies have dominated the eld.

Elite Transformation and Representation

It is interesting to consider why, until very recently, this well developed area of research could not be integrated into a comprehensive infrastructure and conceptual framework. The paradoxical answer may be that it was precisely because of its early take-off that research about political elites remained episodic and conned to national settings (Tardieu 1937; Marvick 1961;Thompson and Silbey 1985).Apparently, it is far more difcult to overcome the diversities and idiosyncrasies of existing coding standards, classication schemes, and data management techniques by an ex post effort than to start from scratch. However, despite obstacles built up by a tradition of nationally fragmented and temporally episodic research into political elites, the demand for the integration of databases and a standardization of research concepts has persisted in the eld of political elite studies. For example, twenty years ago, Robert D. Putnam in his seminal and still unmatched synthesis of political elite research, referred to the copious, but disparate ndings in this eld of scholarship, and complained about the unusually large gap between abstract, general theories and masses of unorganised evidence. He concluded that in important areas of elite research, generalizations remained merely plausible hunches (Putnam 1976: p. ix). In his ex post synthesis of the then available knowledge of political elites, Putnam was aware of the inevitable disadvantages of his patchwork approach, which used fragmented evidence from disparate sources rather to illustrate theoretical generalizations than to test them systematically. His joining in James Thurbers maxim that it is less important to know all the answers than to know some of the questions had an undertone of resignation. About ten years ago, Moshe Czudnowski and Gwen Moore were more interested in answers and more hopeful to get them. The collections of articles they published in 1982, 1983, and 1985 marked a considerable step forward to an ex ante co-ordination of comparative research about political elites. Contributors to their books were guided by sets of well-dened research questions and by stringent instructions as to how they might be answered. Nevertheless these publication projects were still far from a truly comparative approach to the analysis of trends and variations based on direct variable to variable comparisons. Nation states still formed the main objects of investigation in their own right and were not just contexts for the observation of the structure and change of political elites as proposed in Stein Rokkans original research concept. Even Pippa Norriss recently published work on legislative recruitment in contemporary democracies (1997) follows a country by country approach based on varying databases and dispersed empirical evidence, although an important attempt was made to integrate these studies in a common theoretical framework and to complement them by a cross-country study on candidates of the European Parliament. However, the aim to overcome the

Elite Transformation and Representation

patchwork approach that has marked so much of European recruitment research both geographically and conceptually (Patzelt 1999), has still to be achieved and with it Rokkans call to integrate cross-cultural and crosstemporal comparisons in one comprehensive approach. Behind Rokkans agenda lurked an ambitious but simple idea. The description and analysis of diversity is only possible on the basis of a homogeneous database, that is, a set of identical or at least equivalent indicators covering a plurality of nations. Ideally such a set of indicators would be organized in a three-dimensional data-matrix of countries, time, and variables. In the 1980s, such a data cube was still non-existent for the comparative research of political elites, although researchers in several European countries (such as Daalder, Dogan, Eliassen, Farneti, Pedersen, Sartori, and so on) had been working on databases at a national level with similar, in some cases almost identical, research agendas. Their convergence was owed partly to the restricted scope of primary data sources, partly to a socialization of the researchers involved by the eminent gures of classical political elite theory like Weber, Mosca, Pareto, Michels, or Schumpeter, and last but not least, by a common devotion to the great theoretical syntheses of Stein Rokkan. It was on the basis of this convergence, which helped to overcome the fragmentation and the disparities of research about political elites, and which provided the common ground for co-ordinated efforts, that a group of scholars who had contributed in the past decades to national empirical researches in this eld, thought that it was time to move forward along the lines suggested by Rokkan. They were convinced that it was both desirable and possible to launch a truly comparative study of the political elites of European countries and analyse their long-term transformations. This research collaboration is aimed particularly at the analysis of long-term trends in European parliamentary recruitment from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. Its main focus is the interdependence between social change, political change, and the transformations of parliamentary representation, whereby representation is conceptualized as the hinge between society and polity, through which social conict and authority structures are translated into political action, but at the same time political actors guide, reshape, and reinterpret the demands of society. A crucial task for this research is to set up an integrated database that incorporates a series of common variables for the countries included in this study. Such a database, covering 150 years of parliamentary history and involving different paths of development towards modern parliamentarism provides, for the rst time, the empirical prerequisites for a comprehensive comparative research agenda. Following John Stuart Mills Method of Differences (Skocpol 1979), we intend to provide new insights into the effects on parliamentary representation resulting from the extension of suffrage,

Elite Transformation and Representation

the emergence of organized mass parties, the social transformation of the electorate, the growing inuence of mass media, and the declining role of the nation state. Divergent constitutional traditions and differences in the past performance of parliamentary assemblies provide the contrasting institutional background for the interpretation of long-term trends in the countries involved. 2. PARLIAMENTARY ELITES AND THE PROCESS OF DEMOCRATIZATION The starting-point of our investigation was 1848, one of the critical junctures (Lipset and Rokkan 1967) in European history and one which marks symbolically the birth of representative democracy in many areas of Western and Central Europe. The political mobilization of signicant parts of the population, the granting of freedom of association and political expression, the establishment of elected parliaments, the extension of suffrage, which led to a convergence between the pays lgal and the pays rel, the formation of parliamentary parties along ideological lines, their connection with support groups and even party organizations in the country, all formed a conguration which, for the rst time, connected important elements of a new political order (de Tocqueville 1942; orig. 1893; Marx 1965; orig. 1852). It is true that this political conguration was in some cases ephemeral and remained conned for some time to restricted areas in Europe, but it set the agenda and marked the goal for a process of political development which eventually enveloped all European countries. The long historical cycle from the homogeneity of the monarchical order, which was re-established in Europe after the Napoleonic wars, through the divergent multilinearity of developments towards democratization and parliamentarizationincluding extended periods of authoritarian and even totalitarian rule in some countriesto the new homogeneity of present Europe, which has with few exceptions adopted the principles and practices of representative democracy, denes the temporal limits and provides the substantive content of our investigation. This view on the moyenne dure (Braudel 1958) of change in parliamentary representation, combined with a comparative approach based on identical or at least equivalent indicators, was the new and distinctive feature of our approach. The comparative and long-term approach adopted by our study enables us to relate the study of elites more closely to one of the central themes of contemporary political science: the theme of democratization and of its internal variations. It is this theme which offers some of the crucial elements of the theoretical background of our investigation. It is obviously neither possible nor desirable to review in detail all the literature concerning

Elite Transformation and Representation

democratization, but it is necessary to highlight some of the more salient points which have been raised. The rst is that democratization processes have been a common experience for European political systems. Looking back at European political history from the vantage point of the end of the twentieth century, we can see signicant elements supporting an image of convergence, whereby the fundamental ingredients of contemporary mass democracy have progressively become part of some kind of political koin. The nal result at least seems to support the existence of some sort of deterministic trend towards democracy, whereby the process of democratization and parliamentarization in Europe seems to be guided by an iron teleological mechanism working in favour of one type of political order and sweeping aside all others. Yet such a deterministic and linear view of the democratization process appears far too simple as soon as we analyse the paths through which the end result was approached in greater detail. Such an approach also ignores the variations in the timing of the process, the crises, the discontinuities and setbacks as well as failing to take account of the fact that the end result itself, the democratic regime, can encompass signicant variations (Lijphart 1984). Already some of the pioneering studies of democratization, from Dahl, to Rokkan and to Linz, have drawn attention to important variations existing in Europe (and to even more outside Europe) within the common experience of democratization. Such differences have concerned both the formal institutional steps required for the attainment of democracy and the extension of citizenship by processes of political mobilization and participation. Some years ago, in an attempt to produce a scheme for the analysis of such variations, Dahl proposed focusing on differences in the relative timing and speed of the evolution of two main dimensions of the democratization processliberalization and inclusionwhich enabled him to distinguish between different paths of democratization (Dahl 1971). In addition, Rokkan for his part, having conceptualized the process of democratization as the passing of a number of thresholds (legitimation, incorporation, representation, executive power), has discussed the reasons and implications of variations in the sequences of the thresholds and in the timing of their overcoming (Rokkan 1970). These authors, and others following in their foot steps, have documented how the process through which voting rights have been extended to the whole adult population has varied signicantly among European countries. But it has also been shown that the political mobilization of the newly enfranchised voters has not automatically followed at the same speed: in some countries it has taken place more promptly while in others it may have lagged behind. The same can also be said for the development of the main agents of political mobilization and participation, the parties. A good deal of the literature devoted to parties has challenged the view of a uniform and deterministic trend in the

Elite Transformation and Representation

evolution of parties leading everywhere towards the supreme form of the mass organized party (or later of the catch-all party) and has proposed a more indeterminate view according to which distinctive developmental paths may appear in different countries, or even within the same country, thus producing signicant variations in the organizational models of a central actor of democratic life. Even more radical variations in democratization paths appear as soon as we take into consideration the existence both of continuous and of discontinuous patterns of development at the regime level. While in some European countries democratization has developed without major breaks and as a gradual process, in an even greater number of countries the process has faced one or more interruptions. In these cases, a democratic breakdown (Linz 1978) has opened the way for a non-democratic regime (of variable nature and length) and only at a later stage could the democratization process be resumed. Thus, the processes of democratization are best viewed as a complex interweaving of common and divergent threads. The signicant variations existing among European countries in the developmental paths towards democracy have been fairly thoroughly documented by many analyses of the steps in suffrage extension, of the trends of political mobilization, of the processes of party formation and transformation, of the transformation of institutions and of inter-institutional relations (in particular the relations between government and parliament). Crises and breakdowns of democracy have also been studied systematically and their connections to the previous dimensions have been investigated. Our view is that the empirical study of parliamentary elites can add a new dimension to these analyses by documenting how and to what extent the representatives, that is, those actors which are at the same time the main products and producers of the democratization processes and of the democratic institutions, have changed in parallel with the other dimensions of that great transformation. As a result, the study of the European processes of democratization will ideally have at its disposal the empirical data for the parallel sequences of developments concerning: (a) the rules of admission to the political arena (suffrage rights and other political rights); (b) the extent and patterns of political mobilization of the citizenship (turnout); (c) the main agents of political mobilization (parties); (d) institutional arrangements (parliamentarization of governments, and so on); (e) characteristics of political elites. Quite obviously such different aspects into which the democratization process can be broken down are linked together by important connections. In particular, it is clear that the recruitment of political elites will be affected in signicant ways by all the other phenomena mentioned above. At the same time, we have enough evidence to suggest that there is some degree of exibility in such linkages. The synchronism of these developments is not always the same. Leads and lags

Elite Transformation and Representation

among the different aspects are a real possibility and contribute to the variability of democratization processes. Extensions of suffrage may not be followed immediately by the political mobilization of the new enfranchised strata; new voters may not necessarily be channelled by new parties; old elites may survive and manage to adapt to the new conditions. Such variable interrelations (synchronisms, leads, lags) between the different aspects are at the same time a scientic puzzle (particularly vis--vis oversimplistic interpretations of democracy and democratization) and the starting-point for a more satisfactory understanding of the mechanics of the great political phenomenon of the last two centuries, the process of democratization. 3. REPRESENTATION AS THE CENTRAL FOCUS OF OUR RESEARCH The subject of our comparative study is parliamentary representation at national level. This is a conventional choice, which can be supercially justied with well-established research traditions in many countries and by a comparatively rich availability of data. Of greater importance, however, are theoretical considerations. Representation is a central element of modern democracy (Sartori 1987); therefore, the study of the members of parliament, that is, of that section of the elite which embodies the representational element of the regime, offers a strategic point of view for the understanding of democracy and of the processes through which it has been established, developed, and consolidated. The importance of studying the representatives is better understood when we reect upon their two-sided position, that is, being both on the borders between the political institutions of governance and society, and at the same time inside the architecture of democratic government. Parliamentarians by the fact of being the elected are a crucial link in the exchange process between society and polity typical of contemporary democracy. On one side, they obviously are the projection of society into politics. The elected members of parliament are the primary channel through which society, with its variety of conicting values, needs, interests, identities, resources, demands, makes itself felt in the institutional arena of democracy. Therefore their individual and collective features are at least to some extent the reection of society and of its changing structure. Yet, as the best studies of political representation have demonstrated, they cannot be viewed sic et simpliciter as a linear extension of societal structures of power and of social lines of conict into the political arena. Representation is never a purely passive process of translation of society into politics. In fact, it is also a much more active process through which societal elements

Elite Transformation and Representation

are politicized and thus in fact changed. The political actors of representation (be they individual leaders or organized groups such as parties) are to be considered as a relatively independent variable which shapes the political expressions of society (and to some extent society itself). In particular, it is quite clear that the enormous societal changes which have taken place during the age of democratization have been not only reected, but also ltered, selected and reinterpreted, absorbed or dramatized, and generally transformed, by the processes of representation. As a consequence, the group of people that has entered into the political game of democracy through the process of representation has been signicantly different from the raw materials offered by social life in itself (to the extent that it can be conceived as a new entity). Parliamentarians have played a very signicant role in this process. Being on the frontline of the representation process they have been in some way also the projection of politics into society, the terminals through which politics (and its processes) have politicized and shaped social demands. If this point of view is taken into account, they are not simply to be seen as the product of society but also as a product of (democratic) politics and of its specic dynamics. As we will discuss in more detail later, the production of parliamentary representatives, that is, the recruitment process, is best interpreted as an interactive combination of social and of political processes. However, members of parliament are also placed in a crucial position well inside the institutional architecture of democracy. Precisely because of their role as representatives, they are endowed with a prominent position in the law-making process, as well as (in all European forms of democracy) in the democratic legitimization (and consequently also often in the recruitment) of the executive branch of government. The potential relevance of the parliamentary elite, and of its properties for the working of democracy, seems therefore to be a plausible assumption. Yet when it comes to specifying a causal model of their inuence, a number of questions arise. Which features of the members of parliament should be considered as relevant: personal characteristics, past experiences, linkages to organizations, or what else? Which consequences or outputs should be explained: individual attitudes or behavioural patterns (such as votes)? Aggregate routine results (such as the legislation passed by parliament) or systemic outcomes (such as regime crises or regime consolidation)? And how direct and simple can the relationship between elite features and political outputs be? Within this perspective, the range of studies has gone from short-term microanalyses of correlations between personal features (such as gender, race, class, education) of individual members of parliament and their political attitudes or their legislative behaviour (Schleth 1971; Matthews 1985; Norris and Lovenduski 1995), to the attempts to infuse them with a longer-term perspective (von Beyme 1982), to the macroanalyses of the relationship

Elite Transformation and Representation

between systemic features of elites and regime dynamics (Field and Higley 1980, Higley and Gunther 1992). Different explananda have obviously guided such studies: it makes a difference to study normal current outputs of the political systems (such as legislation) or much broader fundamental features of them (such as the characteristics and persistence of regimes). But differences do not pertain only to the explanandum. They often also have to do with the theoretical models of political action upon which elite studies are based. In some cases, it is a simplied individualistic model which assumes that outputs can be related immediately to the characteristics of the individual members of the elites. Against this point of view, other models contend that only under very special conditions is reality accurately represented by this description and that more commonly, between the individual properties of elite members and political outputs, we must take into account the intervening effect of parties, organizations, hierarchies, institutional solutions, and so on (von Beyme 1982). Summing up, we can view parliamentary representation as the intersection of two sets of relations: on one side, relations with society (the input side), on the other side, with the decision-making processes of democracy and their outcomes (the output side). Thus, the study of the (individual and collective) characteristics of parliamentarians may be seen as an instrument for investigation in both directions and also for attempting to understand the connections of the two sets of relations. In the most simplied scheme of interpretation, a linear causal direction links the three elements: societal factors will explain the features of the representative elite and these will determine the outputs of the political process (Fig. 1.1a). If this scheme may in some marginal or extreme cases reproduce reality, in most cases more complex schemes are needed. On both sides of the scheme the impact of intervening variables must be taken into account (Fig. 1.1b). Therefore elite features cannot normally be interpreted as a simple indicator of societal factors nor as simple predictors of political outputs. Yet they allow inferences about both if we can relate them meaningfully to the other intervening variables.

4. THE RECRUITMENT FUNCTION On the input side, the study of parliamentary elites must be related to a clearer understanding of the processes through which they are produced, that is, the recruitment mechanisms. Recruitment can be conceptualized as the intersecting point between the supply of candidates, the demand of selectoratesthat is, those organizations and support groups which send the contenders for public ofces into the arena of electoral competition and the choice of the voters. Supply and demand models of legislative

recruitment have reached a certain degree of popularity among researchers in the past few years (Patzelt 1999: 243), whereby a new institutionalist design prevails focusing on the rules on the game dened by the legal system, the electoral system and the party system (Norris 1997: 2, 814). Our work, which is guided by a long-term perspective reaching back into

Elite Transformation and Representation

11

the pre-party era, extends the study of contextual factors inuencing legislative recruitment to changes in the structure and prevailing normative orientations of whole societies over extended periods, and asks how these changes translate into changes of legislative recruitment patterns. It has to be taken into consideration here that actual recruitment is a highly improbable event when seen against the numbers of those who wish to stand for public ofce at some stage of their life, or against those who actually run for a placement on a party list, or even against those whose names eventually stand on the ballot-paper. Attributes and afliations of contenders give a favourable or unfavourable momentum to their passage through the recruitment process. The given makeup of a parliament can therefore be regarded as the nal balance of advantageous and disadvantageous factors working in the (self-) selective process preceding the act of recruitment. Divergent modes of parliamentary representation are therefore indicative of variations between opportunities, norms, and institutional settings interacting in the process of recruitment. Since this model of parliamentary recruitment had a direct impact on the selection and use of indicators for intertemporal and intercultural comparisons used in our study, its elements and their combinations should be further specied. We can distinguish four basic elements in the recruitment-process. 1. The contenders, who are stimulated to enter the competition for ofces by individual incentives like prestige, power, material rewards, spiritual or ideological commitments, and who dispose of certain resources qualifying them for entry into the electoral competition, such as availability for ofce, relevant qualications formally acquired in the educational system, certain skills informally acquired through personal experience, access to material resources to pay for electoral campaigns and to provide for clienteles or their own maintenance during or after a political career, credibility as an advocate for material and non-material interests, and nally, a social capital invested in reputation, in strong ties such as relationships of patronage and allegiance, and weak ties like acquaintances of a more casual but wider being. These contenders represent the offer on the recruitment market. The strength of the incentives and the value of their resources for those who are on the demand side determines their starting position in the race for ofce (Black 1970; 1972). 2. An important intermediary actor in the process of recruitment are the selectorates, that is, the party organizations, the personal cliques, the groups of dignitaries or state ofcials involved in the selection of candidates and in their presentation to constituencies. Selectorates select candidates according to the result of complex choices considering the probable value of the contenders resources for electoral success, their ideological t with and their practical function for the selectorates themselves and their likely

12

Elite Transformation and Representation

loyalty, that is, their expected obedience to the implicit and explicit expectations of the selectors after becoming a parliamentary actor. Since selectorates have not only a demand position on the recruitment market but must also make convincing offers to the electorate, the relative weight of factors working in the selective process is variable: for example, in a situation when a selectorate is in secure control of a signicant part of the electoral support market, campaign qualities of contenders will be of less importance than their expected loyalty or their ideological t. When analysing the role of selectorates we must keep in mind that the meaning of the concept of selection itself is susceptible of signicant variations. Selection may vary from a substantially reactive mode (the contenders are there and compete for selection) to a more active mode (the contenders have to be searched for, convinced, stimulated to stand for ofce). In some contexts, selection comes very near to the meaning of production. For instance, in the case of some highly organized mass parties, the contenders that are selected for parliament had been in fact produced through a long process of socialization within the ranks of the selectorate itself. In other cases, selection means simply choosing and labelling someone from within a pool of contenders which have been formed completely outside the eld of inuence of the selectorate. 3. The end consumer of offers on the electoral support market and the nal judge of legislative recruitment is the electorate. Factors such as the candidates credibility, competence, impact, charisma, and conformity with essential values and interest concerns are part of the electors demand function when they evaluate the competing offers on the support market. The effect of some of these factors can be directly inferred from the social and political background of representatives, for example, a noble title of a representative is indicative of a connection to the traditional sources of political and social authority, whereas an occupational career as a trade union ofcial hints at an afliation to the aggregations of organizational power in an industrial society. Such attributes have not only functional relevance for the representatives themselves, they have also symbolic signicance for the electorate. Changes of such background attributes can therefore be interpreted as shifts in the relative weight of factors in the demand function of the electorate. However, it must again be kept in mind, that the prominence of candidates personal attributes in the recruitment process is dependent on the position of selectorates in the electoral support market: if a party has a strong and loyal electoral support in a given constituency, symbolic qualities of candidates attracting a wider audience are of less importance than their intra-organizational qualities such as loyalty or managing skills.

4. All the three elements previously mentioned are strongly inuenced by the formal structure of opportunity for parliamentary representation. This is the fourth factor in our model of parliamentary recruitment. Here are to be considered the laws and administrative practices regulating access to legislative ofces and the competition for these ofces in different ways as, for example, the extension of franchise and eligibility, the opportunities for organizations to intervene in the recruitment process through list systems, laws and practices favouring or impeding governmental intervention in the process of recruitment, and so on. It is obvious that such rules of the game have a direct impact on the supply of and demand for contenders for legislative recruitment. To give just one example, the denial of allowances to representatives favours those candidates who either dispose of a regular independent income of their own or who are dependent on transfers from supporting organizations such as parties or trade unions. The resulting representation will be at once more plutocratic and oligarchic (in Michels sense) than in a parliament which offers allowances to its members. It is clear that time is a central element of our research design and that we are particularly interested in the dynamics of change. This causes something of a dilemma since our model of parliamentary recruitment is static, as are all simple demand and supply models. According to such a model, after the establishment of representative institutions, an equilibrium will emerge between the demands of selectorates and electorates on the one hand and offers from interested contenders on the other. Historical analyses of European parliaments show that such a balance can indeed be very stable; in some cases the makeup of parliaments hardly changed for decades and even withstood deep changes in other areas of society. Nevertheless, changes can occur and have occurred in all cases under observation. These changes must be the result of internal or external factors, which affect the choices of the actors in the recruitment market. In order to understand those factors of change, we must go back to the four elements of the recruitment function previously outlined: they can be seen as potential sources of variations in the output of recruitment within countries, across countries, and over time. The pool of the available (realistic) contenders is likely to vary very signicantly and it is obviously the element that will be more directly inuenced by societal differences (within and across countries) and transformations (over time). In particular, which resources are likely to be relevant for success as a potential candidate, and how they are distributed depends in a signicant way on the general makeup of society (a traditional agricultural society versus a dynamic industrial and then a post-industrial one,

14

Elite Transformation and Representation

and so on). For example, being noble or not, owning a large piece of land or not, controlling the networks of clients typical of practising lawyers or having the prestige that derives from writing for newspapers, having or not a university education, being a man or a woman, may acquire rather different meanings in different societies. The fact that the nature of the selectorates has changed over the last 150 years and that cross-country variations are very signicant needs hardly be mentioned. An extensive comparative literature on parties from Ostrogorski to Katz and Mair, through Duverger and Kirchheimer provides sufcient evidence for that purpose. The substitution of parliamentary cliques with organized parties (Sartori 1976); the variable models of organization of the partiesfrom Duvergers mass party to the catch-all party of Kirchheimer, to the cartel party of Katz and Mairand the different patterns of competition among themare all elements which result in selectorates operating differently, with different priorities and constraints. And when talking about selectorates, we should not simply consider parties but also a variety of interest and pressure groups which interact with them in performing the selective function. Different selectorates will probably choose contenders with signicantly different properties. As for the end buyers in the representation market, that is, the voters, we need only recall the fundamental transformations that this element has undergone in the period we are considering. As a consequence of suffrage extensions which have brought the propertyless lower middle classes, peasants, workers, illiterates, and women into the electoral market in successive waves, the original narrow pool of middle and upper class, educated (and propertied) males has been severally diluted. We must also keep in mind the important variations in the predisposition of electors to make use of their voting rights. High or low (and possibly differentiated along some lines of social demarcation) levels of turnout may result in different electorates, but these quantitative elements are only the beginning of possible variations. Qualitative aspects such as the existence of segmented identities (based on region, ethnicity, language, religion, gender, and so on) or, vice versa, the predominance of a common sense of belonging, may guide the attitudes of the voters vis--vis the parliamentary candidate in a very powerful way. Where one such identity plays a major role, the voters will choose primarily on such grounds; otherwise, they may be guided by quite different criteria (such as opinions, interests, competence, and so on). Finally, the rules and the institutional system of opportunities must be considered. Variations in electoral systems (single member versus larger constituencies; rst-past-the-post versus proportional representation (PR) systems, the existence of preference vote, and so on) are the most obvious factors that, by affecting all the other elements of the game (contenders,

selectorates, and voters) and their strategies, may inuence the recruitment of parliamentarians. But one should not forget also the potential importance of other institutional aspects, such as the role of the parliament vis-vis the executive. During the period examined, parliaments have generally moved from a position of limited inuence upon the legitimization and recruitment of the governments to a position of dominance. It is plausible to expect that the attractiveness of the position of parliamentarian for the contenders, the consequences (and thus the criteria) of the selection for the selectorates, the meaning of their vote for the voters will also change substantially. The transformations of some of these elements may have originated from processes of change internal to the social and political system of one country, but in some cases also under the impact of external events and actors. The most extreme examples of the second possibility are those countries, such as Germany and Italy, where democracy was re-established after World War II under the close scrutiny of the winners, which, as such, had a signicant inuence upon the new institutional structure of opportunity, the parties, and even some societal aspects. In other countries too, perhaps in a less visible way, external variables have probably contributed to stimulating the dynamics of change in some of the elements of the recruitment function. The social makeup of a parliament can in the end be viewed as a sediment of norms, values, interests, and opportunities of those involved in the recruitment process and of their respective strategies to achieve their goals. Certain contenders dispose of qualities and resources which equip them better than others to establish themselves on the recruitment market. Preceding processes of selection and self-selection should result in a structure depicting such advantages, whereby selectorates and electorates decide what will be considered as an advantage and which weight should be attached to it. It is obvious that the value of advantages varies over time, between countries and between parties. To be of noble origin will be advantageous in a society which maintains deference as a criterion shaping class and power relationships, whereby such political parties will promote noble candidates who defend the idea of a natural order of social inequality based on ascriptive criteria and may accordingly try to capitalize on the prestige, and the privileged access to resources of power, attributed to noble status. On the other hand, in a society where egalitarian principles predominate and achievement has been established as a criterion for access to positions of power, noble status will be of no advantage or even disadvantageous in the recruitment process. For a party favouring nobles as political leaders, it will be difcult to impose them as legislators against the resistance or even the mere indifference of a constituency which has become more egalitarian. These considerations may illustrate how

16

Elite Transformation and Representation

legislative recruitment can be used to reveal the mechanisms which generate a certain structure of social and political power and to identify the driving forces behind its change. Following Raymond Arons invitation to elite research (1950), the study of leadership groups provides us with a characteristic insight into the social structure of a society. Or, as Robert D. Putnam (1976: 166) put it: Because elite composition is more easily observable than are the underlying patterns of social power, it can serve as a kind of seismometer for detecting shifts in the foundations of polities and politics. The picture we obtain is not representative in the statistical sense of an equal opportunity for each unit of observation to enter a sample, but it is authentically depicting the inequalities, advantages, and disadvantages inherent in the process of recruitment. The main problem of this approach is not to dene a eld of observation, but rather to relate outcomesthe given composition of a parliamentto causesthe mechanisms generating a certain structure. If we nd a rising proportion of female legislators in a parliament, various explanations are on offer as, for instance, an improved availability of qualied and motivated women competing for seats, a higher concern in a given selectorate or electorate for gender equality or evenparadoxicallya lower attractiveness of legislative positions, making them more easily accessible to hitherto disadvantaged social categories. Within the logic of an inductive research design, there is no easy solution to the dilemma of competing explanations. One way would be to change the level of observation and seek for additional evidence in the micro-worlds of selective bodies. The other way is to make use of the comparative method and to use variations across countries, between party families, and diachronically within countries in order to control the inuence of different explanatory variables. Research assembled in the present volume prepares the ground for this work of attributing causes to certain phenomena by interpreting their variations over time, between nations or party families.

5. ON THE OUTPUT SIDE So far we have treated legislative recruitment as a dependent variable to be explained, as an indicator of the general structure of social power. As an independent variable, legislative recruitment is present in research designs which relate social background of parliamentary leadership groups to their integration, stability, and performances. A locus classicus for such an approach is Otto Hintzes famous article on Das monarchische Prinzip und die konstitutionelle Verfassung, where he outlined why parliament in Imperial Germany had not succeeded in gaining the ruling inuence in the state as it did in contemporary Britain or France, and as it was hoped by

leading German liberals after the foundation of the German Empire. The main reason he gave was that German parliamentary elites were completely lacking in the necessary inner unity and solidarity which would, under all conditions, be the prerequisite for a role in political power. He attributed these divisions to their lack of social homogeneity and their acting as agents of special interests of singular social classes, occupational groups, branches of the economy, regions and religious denominations. He concluded that
with us parties are, properly speaking, not political but rather socio-economic or religious-confessional formations. This is connected with the fact that it is actually the life of the bourgeois societyas opposed to the actual political operation which nds expression in our representative bodies. That is, however, a formation of the party system which leads more to a monarchical leadership of the state than to parliamentary inuence. (Hintze 1970; orig. 1911: 3378 our translation)

Although Hintze restricted his argument to Imperial Germany at the turn of the century, we have here concisely a more general theoretical model which links social structure at large, the party system, the social makeup of parliamentary elites, and their ability to establish parliamentary democracy. Elements of this model can be found in modern political theories and explanatory schemes such as the LipsetRokkanian cleavage concept (Lipset and Rokkan 1967) or Lijpharts Consociational Democracy model (Lijphart 1968). More recently, Field and Higley (1980, 1985) proposed a taxonomy linking states of elite structure with the stability or instability of representative institutions. Both, elite structure and regime stability, were connected in a deterministic relationship: As a causal variable an elite state always predates the stability or instability of political institutions (1985: 30). The ability of elites to develop and to maintain a culture of peaceful competitiveness is the prerequisite for a stable representative democracy, whereby high structural integration and value consensus of elites are the bases of their consensual unity. Incidentally, it is interesting to note that characteristics of political elites which were considered by authors like C. W. Mills (1956) to be incompatible with pluralist democracy were treated by Field and Higley as its cornerstones. Field and Higleys taxonomy became a widely accepted point of departure and a framework for interpretation in elite studies. Research on the processes of democratic consolidation in Southern European and Latin American countries (Higley and Gunther 1992) and, recently, also in the post-communist polities of Central and Eastern Europe (Best and Becker 1997) has drawn from their proposition. As we mentioned before, other studies have also proposed relating attributes of parliamentary elites to more specic outputs of parliamentary institutions such as legislation. Robert D. Putnams sceptical question Does

social background matter? should thus be answered with yes! provided we dont establish a direct link between origin and outlook of legislators and our explananda. If we use social and political background variables as independent variables, we should treat them as structural parameters establishing or weakening links between factions of political elites or between elites and constituencies, pressure groups, or mass organizations. It should make a difference whether representatives are closely related through origin and communal ofces to their local constituency or whether they entered parliament gaining a safe seat provided by a national party list when local affairs are on the agenda of a legislature. It should make a difference if members of different parliamentary parties are recruited from mutually exclusive social settings and devoted to divergent political norms if it comes to parliamentary compromising and the formation of coalitions. The design of the DATA CUBE allows us to confront such statements with empirical evidence and particularly to research into the connections between elite structure, regime stability, and performances of representative institutions. If Otto Hintze was right to propose that it was the strong correlation between social background of legislators in the broadest sense and their parliamentary party afliations which incapacitated the Imperial Reichstag, we should be able to verify this proposition by a series of second order comparisons (Rokkan 1967), combining cross-national and crosstemporal designs.

6. THE CUBE AND ITS PRESENTATION At the beginning of our research effort was the building of the CUBE. This is an integrated European data set, with countries, time, and variables as its three dimensions (Fig. 1.2). The creation of the data set was the result of a process that can be described as the nding of the minimum common denominator between already existing empirical research. When this process was started, we faced three questions: 1. For how many European countries would systematic empirical data be available? 2. Which time periods would be covered by the data? 3. Which variables concerning the personal features, the social and political background, the career of members of parliament would be present in the national data sets? Thanks to the inuence of the founding fathers of European political science, and to the predisposition of researchers to follow established paths of research, we soon found that, in spite of a number of problems, the

Note: (d) = The axis for time-series analyses. Source: Andress (1985); Best and Ponemereo (1991).

answers to the three questions were such that they allowed us to move forward. In most European countries, systematic empirical research about parliamentary elites had been done at some stage; typically, such analyses had covered a long-term perspective or at least a medium-term one; at worst, in some countries, there was the problem of stitching together separate time series. As for the indicators, we found that together with a number of rather idiosyncratic variables due to special peculiarities of one or more countries, there was a good number of common variables and also their operationalization had not been too different. Thus, the conditions for the building of the CUBE existed. Having selected the variables (see appendix to this chapter), the next step was that of transforming individual-level data into aggregate data. The unit in the CUBE is the parliamentary party of a given parliamentary term. More precisely, that means that the values of individual members in each category were transformed into an aggregate value of the parliamentary party to which they belonged (for instance, if the variable is education and one of its features is university level, the value assigned to the x parliamentary group in the y parliamentary period is the percentage of MPs of that group who have reached that educational level). The countries covered completely at this point are Finland, Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, and Norway. For Denmark, Hungary, Portugal, and Spain, either the data collection or the data conversion into the CUBE format are under way but still not fully complete.

20

Elite Transformation and Representation

When data is available in the CUBE format, results are graphically represented as standardized time series, exhibiting the long-term variation in percentage shares of selected traits of MPs such as, for example, gender or local politics background. A small subset of indicators, for example, age and tenure, is based on the mean. Alterations in the composition of legislatures occurring after an election are depicted as step changes in the trend lines. Data are presented for all MPs and for members of main party families, provided they had obtained at least ten seats in ve consecutive elections. To avoid the interruption of otherwise continuous time series, the threshold of ten seats was ignored when a party family failed to meet the entry criterion for just one or two elections. The graphs are meant to delineate main trends and periodizations in the data which is why the time axis of the graphs is not broken down into periods of legislatures. In the case of extended interruptions of competitive parliamentary elections by authoritarian or dictatorial regimes (like those of the Deuxime Empire in France, of Fascist Italy after the mid-1920s, and of Nazi Germany after March 1933), the trend lines connect the legislatures elected prior to and after these regime discontinuities in order to give a clearer picture of erratic changes in the composition of parliaments following such interim periods. In some time series, singular legislatures are missing due to a lack or an incompatibility of data. In such cases, and when only one or two legislatures were affected, the nearest valid observation points were connected. When data was missing for more extended periods, the time series were interrupted for the legislatures in question. Most time series start in 1848 for reasons given in preceding parts of this chapter. However, in countries where neither the basis for parliamentary representation was dramatically expanded nor a national parliament became established in this year of European revolutions (as in Italy, Finland, and Great Britain) other, more appropriate starting-points were chosen by the authors of the country chapters. In most countries, the time series end with the parliaments actually convened at the time of writing and with the likelihood of continuing their terms into the next millennium. Exceptions are Finland and Norway where elections were held after the respective country chapters were nished. In cases where data is not yet available in the CUBE format, authors have made efforts to provide evidence which approaches the scope and standards of the CUBE as closely as possible, thus extending our basis for comparison to an even broader variety of European polities.

of the second. In the second book, we want to test, within a truly comparative research design, a number of propositions explaining (on the input side) transformations over time, and variations across countries and across parties in the social and political makeup of parliamentary elites and to explore (on the output side) relations between some of the characteristics of parliamentary elites and the performances of democratic regimes. In order to move in that direction, the rst book, based on national chapters, provides a rich mapping of long-term transformations and of inter-party variations of parliamentary elites, complementing them with basic information about the different national contexts and processes of democratization. Starting from the analysis of a number of common variables concerning the personal properties (age, gender, education), the social origin (nobility, occupation, economic sector), the political background (local and party ofces), and the institutional entrenchment (turnover rates) of members of parliament, special attention will be devoted to the following points: 1. The starting point of the process. What is the prole of members of parliament in the rst years of liberal parliamentarism? To what extent do their social features conform to a standard model? More concretely, there is the problem of assessing the characteristics of the representatives of the original political establishment on one side and of the rst challengers on the other. With regard to the rst, it is important to evaluate whether a more societal type of establishment (based on land-owning and aristocracy) or else a more etatist one (based on high bureaucratic positions) prevails. 2. The decline of the original establishment and its substitution with professional politicians during the process of democratization (and particularly in connection with the extension of suffrage). In discussing this theme we may go back to the schemes of Figure 1.1. We know that democratization processes have affected the relationship between society and members of parliament through a transformation of the intervening variables. To put it simply, one could say that their overall effect has been that of widening the gap between societal variables and the features of parliamentary elites, and of enhancing the weight of political intermediation. From a situation where society could represent itself in a fairly direct way (and parliamentarians were predominantly persons with high social prestige), we have increasingly moved to a different situation where society came to be represented only through highly developed political organizations such as parties. This transformation of representation mechanisms is also reected in a transformation of the social makeup of representatives. The key concepts for interpreting this process are the concepts of political professionalization and of partyness of recruitment. Democratization has entailed a substitution in the role of representatives of the members of the societal

22

Elite Transformation and Representation

establishment with an autonomous breed of professional politicians rooted much more in political organizations than in societal positions. The process can be gauged with a combined use of social background and political career variables, which indicate the relative importance of social and political resources available for the representatives. Professional and social background qualications, suggesting a strong weight of social resources in the selection and career of parliamentarians, should decline. Weaker professional qualications or professional qualications with a democratic potential should take their place, but will increase still further the weight of political qualications linked with the processes and structures of political mobilization. Within this general tendency, we must assess more accurately the correlation between the two processes. How promptly does the rst follows the second? How signicant are the lags in elite transformations? 3. The degree to which political professionalization takes the form of party professionalization. The point here is to evaluate to what extent the career inside party organizations becomes the dominant component of political professionalism, and to what extent other forms of political professionalization (for instance, one based more on local politics resources) can survive. 4. Differences in the upper levels of political professionalization reached. Of relevance here are several questions; is there a convergence towards similar levels of political professionalization or, on the contrary, do systematic differences among countries persist and, within countries, what are inter-party differences and to what extent do they persist over time or give way to a process of homogenization? 5. Is there an end in the history of professionalization? In our perspective, the one question becomes central: what happens once a high level of political professionalization is reached; up to what point will the trend go; when will it start to level off; and, is a reversal of the trend foreseeable? Finally, given the strong linkage between political professionalization of parliamentarians and the development of strong party organizations, can we interpret some recent signs of a weakening of parties as organizations as factors also of a decline in political professionalism? Party-centred political professionalization, which has entailed the substitution of ascription and social prestige with the active involvement in party organizational networks as the fundamental resource for political careers, has sometimes been considered as the end stage of parliamentary elites development in the past. This idea requires more open discussion and empirical control. There are good reasons to question this view: it may be that the growing interconnection of established parties (Katz and Mairs cartel parties) with the

23

state (and its bureaucracy) have contributed to a weakening of party organizations as the focal centre for the production of political personnel. The state apparatus (in an extended sense) could be a competitive source. But the challenge to party organizations may also come from other directions: for instance, society and its specic agencies of interest representation. The proliferation and growth of associations, interest groups, and movements capable of acting with greater autonomy vis--vis the parties both in the electoral arena and in the decision-making processes, should also have an impact in the recruitment of parliamentary elites. The growing importance of the media in the processes of interest articulation and political mobilization may be a further intervening variable (celebrities versus more obscure apparatchiks).

Appendix: DATA CUBE Coding Instructions


Aim: to create for analytical purposes a database containing legislative recruitment and elite transformation data from as many European countries as possible and for as long a period as feasible. For each country, the partial objective is to derive from existing/reorganized data les a DATA CUBE, i.e. a three-dimensional data matrix (variables by time by party). Thus each case in the data set should be identied by a composite number, i.e. the string of VAR01, VAR02, and VAR03. A.
