| Abstract: | This paper explores the transformation of elites in the Visegrád Four countries, that is, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Using a process-tracing analysis, it is argued that the emergence of foreign-led economies in the late 1990s was intertwined with political processes with domestic forces linking to foreign capital were transformed into major elite segments (e-sgmt./e-sgmts.) with remarkable influence. This e-sgmt., the comprador service sector, turned out to be politically active within the states in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), organizing various representation mechanisms. |
