This book analyzes the patron-client relationship over both space
and time. It covers such areas of the globe as Europe, Africa and
Latin America, and such periods in time as ancient Rome,
seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Poland, as well as
twentieth-century America. It also analyzes clientelism in U.S.
policy toward the Vietnam War and in Richard J. Daley's mayoral
rule over Chicago. In his comparative approach the author makes
broad use of theories from such fields as history, sociology,
anthropology and linguistics while considering the global scale of
the patron-client relationship and the immense role that
clientelism has played in world history.
