Neopatrimonialism is system whereby rulers use state resources for personal benefit and to secure the loyalty of clients in the general population. It is central to any teaching or conceptualisation of contemporary African politics and is also applicable to some Asian and Latin American politics. This book offers an overview and detailed analysis of the neopatrimonial state in a comparative perspective. It brings together respected experts in the field and challenges conventional assumptions, to provide: A detailed discussion of the genesis and interpretations of the concepts of patrimonialism and neopatrimonialism. An exploration of its usefulness to address such key issues such as democratization, patronage and development or international relations.

This important volume will be of interest to students and scholars of international politics, African studies, sociology and international development.
