4 Clientelism = pattern of social organization in which access to social resources is controlled by patrons and delivered to clients in exchange for deference and various kinds of support. Particularistic and asymmetrical form of social organization, and is typically contrasted with forms of citizenship in which access to resources is based on universalistic criteria and formal equality before the law Greater prevalence of clientelism is connected with the late development of democracy (Hallin and Papathanassoupoulos, 2000) Clientelism is also an indispensable part of democracy development
