More about the book

The book explores the concept of runaway state-building driven by patronage politics in underdeveloped, noncompetitive party systems. Focusing on Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, it highlights how political competition can limit the expansion of state power fueled by patronage. O'Dwyer's analysis provides insights into the dynamics of newly democratized nations and the impact of party competition on governance and state development.
