This chapter explores elite boundary crossing between civil society and other societal sectors —including the state, party politics, and business—and how this may lead to inter-elite integration.
We illustrate how qualitative life-work history interviews provide an important complement to established quantitative approaches to the study of elite integration. Through these interviews, we explore the drivers and motivations related to a boundary crossing career.
