SCHEDLER, Andreas. Citizens Resent Clientelism: On the Moral Economy of Vote Trading in Mexico. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2004, vol.66, n.1, pp.57-97. ISSN 2594-0651.

The article examines the "moral economy" of electoral clientelism -the exchange of votes for goods- on the basis of qualitative interviews conducted in late 2000 in rural Mexico. Contrary to common assumptions, it finds that respondents tend to reject clientelist practices in the name of individual autonomy.

Palabras llave : clientelism; vote buying; elections; qualitative interviews; Mexico.
