| Popis: | In this article we examine how well the classic model of the urban party organization, with its emphasis on patronage and other particularized incentives (Banfield and Wilson, 1963), explains the survival of Chicago's machine. Our analysis of survey data collected after Mayor Daley's last primary campaign suggests that the machine had expanded its base of support to include voters concerned with a more collective good: the efficient delivery of city services. "The city that works" was a public good that the machine had to deliver to continue its control of Chicago politics. |
