| The Foundation Power & Elite
(in Dutch Stichting Macht & Elite)
was founded on the 16th of May 1978 in the town of The
Hague ('s Gravenhage) in the Netherlands. The Foundation can be reached through its e-mailadress: downwithelite@gmail.com The PURPOSE of the Foundation Power & Elite can be found in the second article of the regulations: "The purpose of the Foundation is the promotion of scientific research regarding the balance of power in the Netherlands and in other countries including Belgium, France, The United Kingdom, West Germany and the United States of America. The Foundation bases its research on its idea that the power in these countries is vested in economic and political elites. The research will include the activity, the continuity and the power of these elites and the individuals who belong to them." (In Dutch: De Stichting heeft ten doel: het bevorderen van wetenschappelijk onderzoek met betrekking tot de machtsverhoudingen in Nederland en in andere landen, zoals met name België, Frankrijk, Engeland, West-Duitsland en de Verenigde Staten van Noord-Amerika, vanuit de visie dat in genoemde landen economische en politieke elites bestaan. Het onderzoek zal de werking, de continuïteit en de macht van de bedoelde elites omvatten en de personen, die hiertoe behoren.). In the course of time the Foundation Power & Elite issued several publications based on its research.
