Description

Branding is ubiquitous, yet its workings in politics are still untheorized. Drawing on the experiences of three cities on three continents, Eleonora Pasotti fills the gap by showing how cities suffering for decades from poor government, entrenched patronage, lack of development, and social conflict made a transition to a new form of governance: brand politics. Facilitated by the joint presence of direct elections, low party discipline, and high rates of municipal fiscal self-reliance, brand politics breaks a vicious cycle of skepticism and inertia, and opens the window for a broad set of reforms. The theory of brand politics shows mayors emulating marketing mavericks: in commerce, consumers aspire to become different people by acquiring products; in politics, citizens support mayors' brands because they seek to become carriers of the same values. Voting and buying have thus become increasingly synonymous in citizens' primal search for a means of expressing their identities.

Author Biography:

Eleonora Pasotti is currently Assistant Professor of Politics at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She holds a B.Sc. in economics and a master's degree in philosophy of the social sciences from the London School of Economics and Political Science, and a Ph.D. in political science from Columbia University, New York. Her research explores the dynamics of preference formation, explored through an analysis of the transformation of patronage politics.
