Abstract

"Patronage at Work: Public Jobs and Political Services in Argentina" by Virginia Oliveros explores the relationship between bureaucracy and electoral politics in countries with clientelism. The book delves into the types of work patronage employees do for political parties and why they continue to support incumbent politicians. Oliveros' research in Argentina sheds light on the role of bureaucrats in party activities and the impact of patronage on job security, making it a valuable resource for understanding governance and clientelism in democracies.
