Data on the people holding posts in one or more of these elite groups were used to test and extend the theory of elite circulation first formulated by Vilfredo Pareto. The data confirms that Spanish elites became more open to others in the democratic period. Up to the present time, they continue to be integrated through multi-positionality - many bureaucrats also hold political or economic posts - though to a lesser extent than in the past. Our empirical findings enable finer distictions to be made about the different modes of elite circulation. These results show the changing natue of the networks that form when posts in different sectors become associated through multiple post-holding. These networks are an important component of the social fabric in Spain and elsewhere and deserve further investigation
