Jobs for the Boys: Patronage and the State in Comparative Perspective
Jobs for the Boys Patronage and the State in Comparative Perspective
Author: Merilee S. Grindle
Patronage systems in public service are reviled as undemocratic and corrupt. Yet patronage was the prevailing method of staffing government for centuries, and in some countries it still is. Grindle considers why patronage has been ubiquitous in history and explores the processes through which it is replaced by merit-based civil service systems.
