FARIAS FILHO, Milton Cordeiro. Elites políticas regionais: contornos teórico-metodológicos para identificação de grupos políticos. Rev. bras. Ci. Soc. [online]. 2011, vol.26, n.77, pp. 175-188. ISSN 0102-6909.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0102-69092011000300014.

The article uses classic and contemporary approaches to develop theoretical and methodological contours identifiable in political groups in regions of the state of Para. It builds a characterization of regional elites, by combining methodological (social institutional position and reputation) and the regional socioeconomic and spatial level dynamics to demonstrate the need for this combination in the demarcation of groups regarded as political elites.
