WED PT – Elites in Portugal is a research project inscribed in the World Elite Database (https://worldelitedatabase.org/), which is a cooperative data and analysis project led by researchers on elite populations across the world. We are an international consortium of scholars from Argentina, Chile, China, Denmark, Italy, France, Finland, Germany, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the USA, but with the purpose of expanding to more countries worldwide. We work together to develop a new standardized data regime to study and share data about elites. Our aim is to solve the problem of comparability and heterogeneity in the study of national power structures, and to foster a cooperative community of scholars interested in studying elite populations systematically. Having in mind this international approach, “WED PT – Elites in Portugal” also has the objective of deepening the study of elites in Portugal, and for that will mobilize the theoretical and methodological instruments for historical and contemporary challenges that the study of elites entails for better understanding inequalities, class, values, democracy, economic growth, development, and social well-being.

| 2025 | Other Event | A new who’s who of the global elites | How does each country select its economic elite? What are the differences between, say, US and Chinese elites? The new World Elite Database (WED) offers the best comparative data yet, drawn from 16 countries that account for one third of the world’s population and 54 per cent of global GDP. One fascinating early fruit is the paper, “Varieties of Economic Elites? Preliminary Results From the World Elite Database”. | Nuno Nunes, Maria do Carmo Botelho, Pedro Vasconcelos, Jéssica Chainho Pereira, Sofia Vale, Luís Clemente-Casinhas, Pedro Casanova, Joao Henriques |
