Replacement and Late Reproduction of the Elite. Governmental Actors between 1990 and 2010

Summary/Abstract: The paper studies the continuity of the state party in the governmental elite being shaped after the change of the system. It analyses to what extent the governments in power between 1990 and 2010 appointed such governmental officials and to what positions that had held decisive nomenclatura positions in the previous state socialist system. The main issue is what role the actors of the previous state party elite played in the shaping of the new elite, were it the main decision makers or the second line members who got an opportunity to fill the new roles in the democratic political system. The research does not only extend over the members of government in the narrower sense of the term, to the prime minister and to ministers but also to the political and administrative secretaries of state due to their decisive influence on political and decision making processes. It studies whether there was any difference between positio ning political and professional leaders in this respect and how far the earlier position in the nomenclatura infl uenced appointments to positions of various natures.
