  3. 2. It Takes Two to Tango: Perceptions and Motivations Towards Campaign Clientelism in Zambia

    Keywords : Keywords: Campaign clientelism; Information theory; mixed methods; System justification theory; Zambia.; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Various studies on clientelism usually start from a common puzzle: Why is campaign clientelism widely practised by politicians even when they have no means of ensuring reciprocity from the voters?
