Aris Trantidis

Clientelism and Economic Policy

Greece and the Crisis

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Using an analytic narrative and a comparative approach, the book studies the pattern of economic reforms in Greece between 1985 and 2015. The book shows that the clientelist system differs from the general image of interest-group politics and that the typical view of clientelism, as individual exchange between patrons and clients, has not fully captured the wide range and implications of this phenomenon. From this, the author develops a theory on clientelism and policy-making, addressing key questions on the politics of economic reform, government autonomy and party politics. It is an essential addition to scholars and students of European Union politics, economic policy and party politics.
