Exploring the role of favors in social welfare systems in postwar, postsocialist Bosnia and Herzegovina, this volume provides a new theoretical angle on links between ambiguity and power. It demonstrates that favors were not an instrumental tactic of survival, nor a way to reproduce oneself as a moral person. Instead, favors enabled the insertion of personal compassion into the heart of the organization of welfare. Managing Ambiguity follows how neoliberal insistence on local community, flexibility, and self-responsibility was translated into clientelist modes of relating and back, and how this fostered a specific mode of power. 410 0$aEASA series. 606 $aPatron and client$zBosnia and Herzegovina 606 $aPolitical sociology 607 $aBosnia and Herzegovina$xSocial conditions 607 $aBosnia and Herzegovina$xSocial life and customs 607 $aBosnia and Herzegovina$xSocial policy 610 $aambiguity. 610 $abih. 610 $acitizenship. 610 $aclientelism. 610 $acorruption. 610 $afavors. 610 $aflexibility. 610 $alocal community. 610 $amodes of power. 610 $amorality. 610 $aneoliberalism. 610 $apatronage. 610 $apersonal compassion. 610 $apersonal connections. 610 $apersonhood. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apost socialist bosnia and herzegovina. 610 $apost socialist bosnia. 610 $apost socialist herzegovina. 610 $apostwar bosnia and herzegovina. 610 $apostwar bosnia. 610 $apostwar herzegovina. 610 $apower. 610 $aself responsibility. 610 $asocial order. 610 $asocial welfare systems. 610 $asocial welfare. 610 $asocialism. 610 $asociety. 610 $asurvival. 610 $athe balkans. 610 $awelfare. 615 0$aPatron and client 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 676 $a306.0949742 700 $aBrkovic?$b C?arna$01707410 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812254903321 996 $aManaging ambiguity$94095626 997 $aUNINA
