Voting behavior is informed by the experience of advanced democracies, yet the electoral context in developing democracies is significantly different. Civil society is often weak, poverty and inequality high, political parties ephemeral and attachments to them weak, corruption rampant, and clientelism widespread. Voting decisions in developing democracies follow similar logics to those in advanced democracies in that voters base their choices on group affiliation, issue positions, valence considerations, and campaign persuasion. Yet developing democracies differ in the weight citizens assign to these considerations. Where few social identity groups are politically salient and partisan attachments are sparse, voters may place more weight on issue voting. Where issues are largely absent from political discourse, valence considerations and campaign effects play a larger role. Campaigns and Voters in Developing Democracies develops a theoretical framework to specify why voter behavior differs across contexts.

In countries around the world, politicians distribute patronage jobs to supporters in exchange for a wide range of political services - such as helping with campaigns and electoral mobilization. Patronage employees (clients) engage in these political activities that support politicians (patrons) because their fates are tied to the political fate of their patrons. Although conventional wisdom holds that control of patronage significantly increases an incumbent's chance of staying in power, we actually know very little about how patronage works. Drawing on in-depth interviews, survey data, and survey experiments in Argentina, Virginia Oliveros details the specific mechanisms that explain the effect of patronage on political competition. This fascinating study is the first to provide a systematic analysis of the political activities of mid and low-level public employees in Latin America. It provides a novel explanation of the enforcement of patronage contracts that has wider implications for understanding the functioning of clientelist exchanges.

En muchos paises, el empleo publico funciona como recurso politico: los dirigentes reparten puestos entre seguidores a cambio de servicios politicos, como ayudar en campanas o asistir a actos proselitistas. Se suele asumir que controlar esos puestos le da al oficialismo una ventaja decisiva, pero se sabe poco sobre que hacen, en concreto, los empleados de patronazgo y por que siguen cumpliendo una vez que el puesto ya esta asegurado. Virginia Oliveros recurre a evidencia original recolectada a partir de entrevistas en profundidad y una encuesta a 1.200 empleados del sector publico, para describir el tipo y el alcance de esos servicios politicos. A partir de esos datos, propone una teoria del patronazgo no coercitivo, donde los contratos se sostienen no solo por miedo al castigo o por reciprocidad, sino porque muchos empleados creen que su empleo y sus condiciones laborales estan ligados al destino politico de quien los contrato. Trabajo y favores propone claves indispensables para entender por que estos acuerdos son tan persistentes, y que implican para la competencia politica y la calidad de la democracia.
