The issue of patronage-clientelism has long been of interest in the
social sciences. Based on long-term ethnographic research in
southern Italy, this book examines the concept and practice of
raccomandazione: the omnipresent social institution of using
connections to get things done. Viewing the practice both from an
indigenous perspective - as a morally ambivalent social fact - and
considering it in light of the power relations that position
southern Italy within the nesting relations of global Norths and
Souths, it builds on and extends past scholarship to consider the
nature of patronage in a contemporary society and its relationship
to corruption.
