Bailey's classic political-anthropology text is reissued here with a Postscript that comments critically on the book's scope, its reception, and its uses. First published in 1969, Stratagems and Spoils captured the imagination of scholars and students with a revealing examination of principles of political competition that operate alike in ?exotic? and ?developed? societies. In Bailey's analysis, Swat Pathan chiefs, cosa nostra gangsters, General de Gaulle, and the Untouchables in a rural Indian village (for example) are shown employing similar strategies, both effective and ineffective, to win and hold followers while eroding the support of their opponents. Provocative and insightful, Stratagems and Spoils provides a conceptual toolkit for analyzing, in any culture, the rules that regulate political contests and determine who will win and who will lose., F.G.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (353,533)
- i***m (160)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe estimated delivery date was way off as I didn’t receive my item until 2 weeks later. I asked to cancel my order as dispatch was taking too long which the seller rejected even though I didn’t get a dispatch notification until several days after the request. The customer service comes across as scripted and it takes ages to get a response. Not a good experience, I’m afraid. I won’t be using this store again.
