Rezensionen
'The dynamics of clientelism in Latin America are analyzed from varying qualitative, theoretical perspectives in this book edited by Hilgers Comparative overviews assess the nature and level of clientelism across the region, and various case studies provide micro-level detail - the "everyday" of the title - on clientelism in parts of Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, and Uruguay this volume is useful for political scientists, but perhaps even more so for sociologists and scholars of Latin America Recommended.' - Choice

'The so-called third wave of democracy brought much optimism to developing countries. This interesting book deepens our understanding of how varieties of clientelism informally aid and abet how democracy operates in Latin America. The excellent essays are written by experts in politics in diverse countries in the region.' - Susan Eckstein, Boston University, former president of the Latin American Studies Association
