4/22 4th period

Bureaucracy
like other countries
exec branch departments headed by cabinet members
large patron client systems (camarilla) correlate with one-party system
until early 2000s defining characteristic was camarilla system
politically powerful build camarilla to compete with other camarillas to dominate policymaking
camarilla : -patrons have several clients -clients have several patrons, and try to develop their own clients
when the president leaves, camarilla goes too
incoming president brings in their own camarilla
its difficult in a large camarilla to have new ideas
the policies come from the top most of the time rather than from the clients/public
#1 job of the client is to please patron
clients cannot say yes to public as much, most of the time they are unresponsive as to not promise something they can't guarantee

then we filled out the AP packet things. if you were absent ask G about it.
Mexico multiple choice/short answer test tomorrow. free response on friday. questions due monday.
