Description

"Patronage as Politics in South Asia" edited by Anastasia Piliavsky offers a comprehensive exploration of the intricate dynamics between patronage systems and political structures in the context of South Asia. Drawing upon interdisciplinary perspectives and empirical research, the book delves into the historical roots, socio-cultural dimensions, and contemporary manifestations of patronage networks across the region. Through a nuanced analysis, it elucidates how patronage operates as a pervasive force shaping governance, electoral politics, and societal relations in countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Contributors examine the symbiotic relationship between patrons and clients, the role of caste, kinship, and ethnicity in patronage networks, and the impact of globalization and modernization on traditional patronage systems.
