Nevertheless, social sciences often adopt terms lacking clear and precise definitions. Adopting the method proposed in Sartori (1984), the present Master?s thesis consists of an explicatory study aiming to clarify the concept of ?elites?. First, the essential works concerning elites are identified by analyzing a large citation network. Then, the thesis proposes a definition of elite able to encompass those of previous works. The new definition attempts to include the concept of elites within the broader framework of the resource-dependence theories (Pfeffer e Salancik, 1978) and purposive theories (Coleman, 2005). 606 $alinguistics$2bicssc 610 $acriteria for good conceptual definitions 610 $acitation network 610 $aelite 610 $ainformation retrieval 610 $areview methods 610 $aconcept reconstruction 615 7$alinguistics 700 $aCristofoletti$b Enrico$4auth$01278970 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910572197303321 996 $aFenomenologia del concetto di élite e network analysis come metodo di information retrieval$93014307 997 $aUNINA
