      How clientelism undermines state capacity
      – Evidence from Mexican municipalities
      Ana L. De La O - UNU-WIDER , 2021 - Helsinki, Finland

Building on these insights, this article argues that clientelism creates a bureaucratic...

      Voter coercion and pro-poor redistribution in rural Mexico
      Dragan Filipovich, Miguel Niño-Zarazúa, Alma Santillán Hernández - UNU-WIDER , 2021 - Helsinki, Finland
      Voter coercion is a recurrent threat to pro-poor redistribution in young democracies. In this study we focus on Mexico’s paradigmatic Progresa-Oportunidades-Prospera (POP) programme. We investigate whether local mayors exploited POP to coerce voters, and if so, what effect these actions had on the...

      Clientelism and development: is there a poverty trap?
      Susan Stokes - UNU-WIDER , 2021 - Helsinki, Finland
      There are sound theoretical reasons to expect clientelism to suppress economic growth: politicians who garner support by offering employment to voters and grassroots party members can do so more effectively when the voters’ participation constraint is met with low wages. Hence, clientelism can...
