Elite Preferences

Elite Preferences is a theoretical construct in political science and sociology that denotes the systematically prioritized policy inclinations, resource allocations, or strategic interests held by a small, influential subset of actors—such as political, economic, or institutional elites—distinguishing it from mass public preferences through its disproportionate impact on agenda-setting, policy formulation, and institutional outcomes.
