Party Patronage and Party Government in European Democracies brings
together insights from the worlds of party politics and public
administration in order to analyze the role of political parties in
public appointments across contemporary Europe. Based on an
extensive new data gathered through expert interviews in fifteen
European countries, this book offers the first systematic
comparative assessment of the scale of party patronage and its role
in sustaining modern party governments. Among the key findings are:
First, patronage appointments tend to be increasingly dominated by
the party in public office rather than being used or controlled by
the party organization outside parliament. Second, rather than
using appointments as rewards, as used to be the case in more
clientelistic systems in the past, parties are now more likely to
emphasize appointments that can help them to manage the
infrastructure of government and the state. In this way patronage
becomes an organizational rather than an electoral resource. Third,
patronage appointments are increasingly sourced from channels
outside of the party, thus helping to make parties look
increasingly like network organizations, primarily constituted by
their leaders and their personal and political hinterlands.
