HIGH-LEVEL POLITICAL APPOINTMENTS IN THE PHILIP...

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.
