Abstract:
Substantively, this dissertation is interested in clarifying a fundamental question in the social sciences: how can actors gain political influence, given that a political elite controls access to it? This thesis applies a social network perspective to study this question. The author identifies three different strategies actors can use. First, they can use bridges to the gate-keeping elite to increase influence. Second, non-elite actor groups, such as social movements, can work with intersections between them and the political elite to further their goals. The third way are individual careers as transitions into the elite that, however, depend on elite decisions themselves. Every aspect is quantitatively analyzed with reference to a carefully chosen case study.
