本文分析了外部行为者在冲突后社会中影响国家政治精英获得或维持权力地位的机会的努力。该分析比较了利比里亚和科索沃的情况，这两个国家的特点都是外部干预程度高，但外部行为者的权力范围有很大差异。尽管存在这些差异，但两国精英阶层形成的动力机制相似。外部行为者对精英体系的影响大多是间接的，国家环境提供的积累权威的机会决定了精英的职业生涯。外部行为者服从于这些国情，而不是果断地改变它们。
This article analyses the efforts of external actors to influence opportunities for national political elites to gain or maintain positions of power in post-conflict societies. The analysis compares the cases of Liberia and Kosovo, both of which have been characterized by high levels of external intervention though with significant differences in the scope of authority of external actors. Despite these differences, similar dynamics have characterized elite formation in both countries. The impact of external actors on elite systems is mostly indirect, and chances for accumulating authority provided by the national setting determine elite careers. External actors bow to these national conditions rather than decisively changing them.
