By using Argentina, a country that experienced substantial regime instability during the 20th century, as a model, they will document patterns of elite persistence across different regimes and study how traditional elites adapt to losses in their political power. To accomplish this, they will utilize Argentina's rich reserves of individual and family-level data on their elite classes, extending well back through the nation's history.
