It looks at Italian clientelism in a holistic cultural contest, not just within limited sectors of the society (which is the tendency of political science and sociological approaches). It approaches Italian clientelism from a deeply emic perspective, that is, from the point of view of the people studied. It constitutes a missing link between older studies of patronage-clientelism (1950s-1970s) and contemporary studies of corruption. Many books about clientelism in Italy (often written by journalists) take a moralistic tone; this book is instead an objective scientific study.
