This
paper counters the neo-Weberian argument
that democratization can begin to undermine
the patron-client relationships that impede
economic development. The economic characteristics
of developing countries make patron-client
politics both rational for redistributive
coalitions and effective as strategies
for achieving the goals of powerful constituencies
within these coalitions. These are unlikely
to be affected by democratization and
therefore, democratization is unlikely
to accelerate economic development. The
case for democratization therefore has
to be made on other grounds.
