About this document
Elite Theory in Indian Public Policy by gitashreeboruah059 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Elite Theory of Public Policy posits that a small, powerful elite shapes public policy, controlling decision-making and resources, while the masses passively accept elite decisions. Key features include minority rule, a top-down process, and a status quo bias that prioritizes elite interests. Examples from India illustrate this theory in action, such as economic reforms and nuclear policy, although it also acknowledges the limitations of elite influence in the face of mass movements.
