Professor Mares is a leading scholar of the politics of democratization and clientelism. Her work has transformed the study of the welfare state, electoral fraud and democratization, and most recently, the selective nature of political clientelism. She is a true intellectual, with wide-ranging passions and a commitment to inquiry, knowledge, and truth that is not bound by either methodological or disciplinary shibboleths.
