Le
clientilisme
politique
dans
les
etudes
politiques:
Retrospectivement
et
i
I’avenir
par
Carl
H.
Landi
Cet
article
examine
1’6tat
de
la
recherche
sur
le
client6lisme
politique
en
examinant
deux
recueils
d’articles
r6cents
sur
ce
sujet.
Le
texte
montre
que
ces
recueils
comprennent
de
nombreuses
descriptions
du
changement
intervenu
dans
la
nature
meme
des
rapports
client-patron
ainsi
que
des
mod6les
des
syst6mes
politiques
comprenant
des
616ments
de
client6lisme
et
certaines
comparaisons
a
deux
cas.
Mais
ces
recueils
ne
contiennent
aucun
rapport
sur
des
essais
destin6s
a
tester
des
hypotheses
concernant
le
clientdlisme
d’une
facon
syst6matique.
Ceci
s’explique
en
grande
partie
par
la
nature
des
rapports
patron-
client
et
d’autres
structures
dyadiques:
leur
amorphie,
leur
caractère
cach6,
leur
difficult6
a
se
laisser
apprehender
et
leur
ubiquit6,
ainsi
que
par
certains
probl6mes
de
conceptualisation
et
d’explication.
La
v6rification
syst6matique
de
ces
hypotheses
exigera
que
l’on
envisage
des
facons
de
mesurer
les
structures
dyadiques.
11
faudra
d’abord
s’en
tenir
au
niveau
moyen
ou
institutionnel
des
syst6mes
politiques.
On
sugg6re
que
les
dyades
pourraient
etre
identifi6es
et
mesur6es
facilement
si
elles
étaient
consider6es
comme
des
suppl6ments
a des
rapports
ou
a
des
syst~mes
institutionnalls6s.
Clientelism
and
Patrirnonialism
in
the
Arab
World
by
Jean
Leca
and
Yves
Schemeil
The
classical
issues
on
patronage
(Can
the
various
forms
of
patronage
be
subsumed
under
a
single
category?
Can
we
contrast
&dquo;dyadic
clientelism&dquo;
with
&dquo;corporate
clientelism&dquo;?
What
is
the
relation
between
clientelist
behavior
and
the
political
economy
of
a
given
society?)
are
not
unknown
to
the
specialists
of
an
area
in
which
the
phenomenon
is
endemic
and
can
be
traced
over
an
exceptionally
long
period
of
time.
The
first
part
of
this
article
deals
with
the
forms
and
meanings
of
patronage
as
it
is
expressed
by
the
Arab
language
and
the
political
culture(s)
of
the
&dquo;Arab
world&dquo;
(even
though
the
homogeneity
of
the
area
is
debatable).
The
links
with
kinship,
slavery,
protection,
intermediation,
leadership,
and
honor
are
scrutinized.
Other
terms
are
used
to
designate
patronage
when
it
is
related
not
to
honor
or
to
family
but
to
clans
or
malversation.
The
second
part
attempts
to
put
patronage
as
a
form
of
power
within
the
framework
of
the
main
modes
of
domination
prevailing
in
the
area:
