Why do people turn to personal connections to get things done?
Exploring the role of favors in social welfare systems in postwar,
postsocialist Bosnia and Herzegovina, this volume provides a new
theoretical angle on links between ambiguity and power. It
demonstrates that favors were not an instrumental tactic of
survival, nor a way to reproduce oneself as a moral person.
Instead, favors enabled the insertion of personal compassion into
the heart of the organization of welfare. Managing Ambiguity
follows how neoliberal insistence on local community, flexibility,
and self-responsibility was translated into clientelist modes of
relating and back, and how this fostered a specific mode of power.
