Patron-client Networks

Patron–Client Networks is a socio-economic relational structure in which a materially advantaged patron wields discretionary power and resources to provide benefits and security to less powerful clients in exchange for loyalty, political support, and personal service, thereby establishing asymmetric, personalized, and reciprocal ties that substitute for or complement formal institutions.
