Klappentext zu „High-level Political Appointments in the Philippines “
This book questions the belief that patronage explains poor governance and weak organizations. Its focus is on high-level political appointees in the Philippines, but its implications for development processes and policy are far-reaching. Patronage stimulates the emergence of democracy and welfare, and constitutes formal organizations. So intimately connected is it with the health of democracy and effective organizations that attempts to eradicate patronage only harm social, organizational and democratic life. In developed societies this has meant a growing Puritanism interspersed with bouts of corruption and moral panic; and, as they seek to maintain effective organizations and vibrant democracies, a mounting desire to project their own anxieties and imperfections onto developing countries.
This study questions the nature and significance of patronage as an explanation of poor government and weak organizations. Its focus is high-level political appointees in the Philippines, but its analysis has much wider applications. Patronage educes basic democratic pattern and prompts emotional changes such that it is re-cast as the technical organization and as more complex patterns of democracy and welfare. So intimately connected at this level are patronage and technical organizations that the health of democracy, welfare, and effective organizations in the 'developed world' is partly dependent upon first-world visions of the 'developing world'.
