Summary/Abstract: Early research on clientelism spans over a period between 1960 and 1980. Early publications sparked a debate on the content, meaning and impact of clientelist ties. Researchers tackled the issue of explaining individual cases on different levels of focused analysis, rather than contributing to the common understanding of what clientelism “is” and “how” exactly it influences society. This paper presents an overview of contemporary research on clientelism, its theoretical conceptualization, early traces of the use of exchange relations of power and resources, a historical overview of the utilization of clientelist networks by political actors to ascend to power and survive in power and lastly the instrumentalization of clientelism to stabilize society. Later on, the paper provides a quantitative analysis of contributing factors to clientelist tendencies between political parties and voters in the Republic of Macedonia.
