Project
Power, Patronage and the Informal Sector: co-optation and coercion in state-society relations in Zimbabwe and Zambia
This project will use a multi-site comparative design to explore how ruling parties in Zambia (and Zimbabwe) extend their reach through dispensing ‘public’ goods such as market and bus stalls as well as housing developments to rule by co-optation rather than coercion in increasingly adverse political or economic climates.
