Conclusion. 520 $a "Clientelism and ethnic favoritism appear to go hand-in-hand in many diverse societies in the developing world. But, while some ethnic communities receive generous material rewards for their political support, others receive very modest payoffs. The Price of a Vote in the Middle East examines this key - and often overlooked - component of clientelism. The author draws on elite interviews and original survey data collected during his years of field research in Lebanon and Yemen; two Arab countries in which political constituencies follow sectarian, regional, and tribal divisions. He demonstrates that voters in internally-competitive communal groups receive more, and better, payoffs for their political support than voters trapped in uncompetitive groups dominated by a single, hegemonic leader. Ultimately, politicians provide services when compelled by competitive pressures to do so, whereas leaders sheltered from competition can, and do, take their supporters for granted"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Voting $z Middle East. 650 0 $a Patronage, Political $z Middle East. 650 0 $a Patron and client $z Middle East. 650 0 $a Ethnicity $z Middle East. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE $x International. $x International. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Ethnicity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916034 650 7 $a Patron and client. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01055220 650 7 $a Patronage, Political. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01055231 650 7 $a Voting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01169232 651 7 $a Middle East. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01241586 830 0 $a Cambridge studies in comparative politics. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n91089840 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://assets.cambridge.org/97811071/06673/cover/9781107106673.jpg $z Cover image 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213020938.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0860B370F5D511E7B33F7C0497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
