- Abstract
The article discusses the impact of political patronage (clientelism) on the quality of Latin American democratic institutions. The author explores the historic democratic presuppositions concerning the political agency of individuals, comments on how clientelism denies basic citizen rights to genuine political participation, and examines the effects of clientelism on the poor and on political institutions in Latin America.
