- This interdisciplinary monograph, with contributions from economics, sociology and politics, had a long production time. Shipman as lead author, generated a high proportion of the research, and practically all the final text; integrating the analytical thread of the book, taking three years full time research time. The monograph is the equivalent of 4 articles - an original account of the emergence and persistence of elites, a comparative-historical analysis of coalition composition, an explanation of changes in polity/policy, and a re-evaluation of C Wright Mills’s ‘power elite’ thesis. Book form allowed a more integrated political economy contribution than separate articles.
