Variations in patronage

Samenvatting

Four main variations in patronage are considered: vassalage, brokerage, friendship, and disguised patronage. Each is related to a distinct type of political organization which falls along a continuum from a feudal (full patronage) society, in which patron client ties are the dominant sr, to bureaucratic, (dysfunctional patronage) authoritarian societies in which authority is fully centralized. Some modern industrialized societies follow close to the dysfunctional patronage description. Universalistic societies encompass parallel structures. By studying the archetypal model of patron-client ties (feudal society) questions will emerge regarding the study of corruption in modern context. Modified author's summary
