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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eManaging\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e Ambiguity\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42967325212927,"sku":"9781789208412","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/products\/9781789208412-us-300.jpg?v=1665187056","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781789208412","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
