Abstract: Since the beginning of the 1970s, democratic capitalist Western Europe as well as state-socialist Eastern Europe has faced the double challenge of the third – the electronic-digital – industrial revolution and the second globalization. This article discusses the consequences of the “great transformation” for the economic elites in both the ‘West’ and the ‘East’. The emerging convergences have undoubtedly contributed to the internationalization of the European economic elites; the question is how strong this tendency was (and is), and whether a new type of transnational business elites more or less separated from the national context has emerged, and if it has, which theoretical concepts can be used to characterizeand analyze them.
