Runaway State-Building

Patronage Politics and Democratic Development

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Conor O'Dwyer introduces the phenomenon of runaway state-building as a consequence of patronage politics in underdeveloped, noncompetitive party systems. Analyzing the cases of three newly democratized nations in Eastern Europe -- Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia -- O'Dwyer argues that competition among political parties constrains patronage-led state expansion.
