Abstract

This study aimed to identify who are the central Government Elites who composed the Governments of Pará between 1983 and 2006 from the analysis methodology proposed by the Theory of Elites. Our object of study documents titled Terms Posse, filed with the State Department of Administration (SEAD), which record the appointments of Secretary of State offices and the like. Using the method of Institutional Position has detected a Political Group formed from the composition of each Government investigated and, of this group, are selected names that were included in other Governments, called “elite lasting”. Each member of this latter group corresponds to a Connection which can be from two, three, four or more administrations. Analyzing these data in light of elitism, produced a “Elitization Index” (IE), which compares how much each Government produced, percentage of names that formed the “elite lasting”.
