Czesław Znamierowski's reflections on elite and democracy
Abstract
The article presents Cz. Znamierowski's views on social elites and democracy
contained first of all in his booklet Elita i demokracja. According to Cz. Znamierowski,
the existence of elities in a society-associated by V. Pareto with the functioning
of non-democratic system — is possible also in a democracy. In particular,
in the process of shaping the composition of democratic representation organs,
a decisive role is p ayed by various social elites representing different hierarchies
of values. Therefore, the existence of a „good" democracy is conditioned by allowing
the best elites to have inf uence on the activity of democratic institutions,
and not by multiplying those institutions. The shape of Cz. Znamierowski's conception
of the relation between elites and democracy has undoubtedly been influenced
by the practice of the authoritarian government installed after the 1926
coup d'état in Poland.
