Religious Ideology and Clientelist Linkage in the Middle East and North Africa

“…Moreover, ideology acts as a facilitator of clientelistic transactions, as ideological affinity enables parties to effectively target core voters (Schady 2000;Nichter 2010). Empirical evidence from the existing literature demonstrates that right-wing ideologies significantly influence the use of clientelism (Tzelgov and Wang 2016).…”

“…We incorporate the party's vote share and seat share in the observed election year. We also include control for left-right ideology, given its potential impact on clientelism (Shefter 1994;Tzelgov and Wang 2016).

“…Party ideology is related to clientelism under a similar rationale. Socialist and left-wing parties tend to have stronger organisational bases, but also tend to have lower access to state resources (Shefter 1994;Tzelgov and Wang 2016;Wang and Kolev 2019). Both party measures (size and ideology) come from the Democratic Accountability and Linkages Project (Kitschelt et al 2009).…”
