description | This paper is a test of clientelism as an
explanatory framework for the challenges faced by the Nova Scotia Liberal
government led by Dr. John Savage, 1993–1997. Clientelism, as an
explanatory theoretical framework, is a useful tool for interpreting the
political events that drove Premier Savage from office only four years
after leading his party to a significant majority in the Nova Scotia
legislature. The hypothesis presented is that Nova Scotia's political
culture supports an environment in which clientelism flourishes. Since the
clientelistic dyadic relationship and networks are deeply rooted in the
cultural mores of Nova Scotia, they cannot be easily challenged and
dismantled by any single political actor or government. Therefore, the
Savage government's attempt to capsize this long-established cultural
practice is advanced as the prime reason for its failure to endure as a
viable administration. Résumé. Cette communication est un test de
clientélisme qui tente d'expliquer le cadre dans lequel
s'inscrivent les défis auxquels a été
confronté le gouvernement libéral de Nouvelle-Écosse
mené par le Dr John Savage de 1993 à 1997. Le
clientélisme, en tant que cadre théorique explicatif, est un
outil utile qui permet d'interpréter les
événements politiques qui ont fait perdre son poste de
Premier Ministre au Dr Savage quatre ans seulement après
qu'il ait mené son parti vers une majorité
significative à l'assemblée législative de
Nouvelle-Écosse. En fin de compte, l'hypothèse est que
la culture politique de Nouvelle-Écosse favorise un environnement
dans lequel le clientélisme est florissant. Du fait que la relation
dyadique clientéliste et les réseaux sont
profondément ancrés dans les traditions culturelles de
Nouvelle-Écosse, il est peu probable qu'un acteur unique ou un
simple gouvernement puisse facilement les mettre au défi et les
démanteler. En conséquence, nous suggérons que la
tentative du gouvernement Savage de renverser cette pratique culturelle de
longue date est la raison principale pour laquelle ce gouvernement
n'a pas réussi à survivre en tant
qu'administration. |
