Adorno - Political Theory as Theory of Aesthetics", "Historical Forerunners of Policy Studies", "Political Institutions - Old and New", "Representative Democracy and the Populist Temptation", "Political Advisors to Politicians", and on "The Concept of Political Class: A New Dimension of Research on Elites?".
