Abstract
The subject of Elite is not new in international politics but in Pakistan very few attempts have been made to discuss this concept. In the west after Renaissance, Reformation and Industrialization the social idea of progress was changed and occupation became the central concept of progress. These occupations may be both traditional and modern. The most important traditional professions are landowning, religious, bureaucracy, military, industrial or merchant class while modern professions are lawyer, artists, players etc. The Question is that who is better for leadership or who is better for govern on the population and who is elite. This paper will attempt to (i) an overview of the concept of Elite and (ii) its Circulation process, in the west as well as in Pakistan. It will be concluded that in a society like Pakistan, where many problems in political, economic, religious, military, landowning, professional and bureaucratic levels, the circulation of elite is not much obvious. I try my best effort to collect different author’s work which is available to me on this topic western as well as Pakistani. This work is taken from my M. Phil dissertation. The present paper is a tiny contribution for beginning of this conversation in Pakistan.
