Curbing Clientelism in Argentina: Politics, Poverty, and Social Policy
Weitz-Shapiro, Rebecca (Brown University, Rhode Island)
In many young democracies, local politics remain a bastion of nondemocratic practices, from corruption to clientelism to abuse of power. Focusing on the practice of clientelism in social policy in Argentina, this book argues that only the combination of a growing middle class and intense political competition leads local politicians to opt out of clientelism.
