“…An encouraging sign for the external validity of our findings is the recent study of Duarte et al. (2019), which finds a similar pattern of relationships in Paraguay. Taken together, our findings may help explain why clientelism can be so durable and adaptable.…”

“…This raises a new puzzle: Brokers are clearly still central actors in clientelism (Mares & Young 2016), so what else are brokers doing? Recent literature increasingly focuses on the other roles that brokers perform for politicians, such as identifying which voters have social norms of reciprocity that allow exchanges to be self-enforcing (Finan & Schechter 2012, Ravanilla et al 2018, Duarte et al 2019, facilitating collective action (Baldwin 2015), providing access to mobilizable voters (Hicken et al 2019), assisting in nonelectoral governance functions (Zarazaga 2014), or serving as local problem solvers who target personalized resources in response to bottom-up voter demands (Zarazaga 2014, Szwarcberg 2015, Nichter & Peress 2017, Auerbach & Thachil 2018, Brierley & Nathan 2019. Future research can build on these studies to develop new theories of brokered politics that focus more attention on these intermediaries' other tasks.…”

“…Our results also show how electoral integrity can be incomplete for developing democracies in multiple dimensions. Previous work on the literature has focused on clientelism and vote buying by the traditional parties (ANR and PLRA) of Paraguay (Duarte et al, 2019;Finan and Schechter, 2012). Our findings show how electoral integrity can also break down at the vote counting stage in favor of the traditional parties.…”

“…A broad literature analyzes election irregularities at different stages including the aggregation process (Beber and Scacco, 2012;Callen and Long, 2015;Cantú, 2019) and clientelism more generally (Anderson, Francois and Kotwal, 2015;Baland and Robinson, 2008;Duarte et al, 2019;Finan and Schechter, 2012;Hicken, 2011). Previous work has analyzed the role that independent domestic (Ichino and Schündeln, 2012) and international (Hyde, 2007) election observers can also play in developing democracies.…”
