We thereby integrate insights from PA and PoliSci: we need political science (clientelism) to explain the nature of policy implementation, while public policy (administrative burdens) is needed to understand why clientelism may be a dominant access mechanism to public services.

Rik @rikpeeters2.bsky.social · 10/12/2025
Our study shows how administrative burdens can play a crucial role in explaining clientelist practices: politicians exploit their leverage over long and uncertain waiting times and scarce access to social housing for their electoral benefit.

Most new projects are built in collaboration with social organizations who obtain building lots and permits. For each of these projects, the Social Housing Institute hands over 70-90% of apartments to organization members rather than to unaffiliated people on its own waiting list

Access to social housing is, therefore, competitive. The more connected and effective a social organization´s leader (broker) and the more politically active its members, the higher the chance of obtaining political favors and funding for ´their´ housing project.

Rik @rikpeeters2.bsky.social · 10/12/2025
In response, most citizens looking for social housing affiliate with social organizations that promise a reduction of waiting times in exchange for participation in collective protests and political proselytism to sway local authorities to give their members preferential access.

Rik @rikpeeters2.bsky.social · 10/12/2025
Social housing in Mexico City is a case of high demand and low supply: waiting times to obtain a social housing credit through the Social Housing Institute may be up to 12 years. There is, however, considerable political discretion in distributing funds and granting permissions.

Administrative burdens can be a powerful political weapon. To punish undesirable populations or policies by throwing up barriers. Or to reward politically loyal groups with privileged access. We study Mexico City´s social housing policy to exemplify the latter @govjournal.bsky.social:

Information infrastructures are highly cost efficient and able to reduce administrative burdens in most cases for citizens. However, they also complicate procedural lawfulness and organizational and democratic control. Mitigation mechanisms should be designed into infrastructures.

3) While data-exchange will reduce administrative burdens for most citizens, they are negatively affected when trying to seek redress, exceptions, or correction of errors in data used for administrative decisions regarding their formal rights and obligations.

2) As data source and data user organizations establish a division of labor, the former are blindsided from the way data is used, and the latter are blindsided from the way data is collected and altered. This affects organizations’ ability to provide reasoning for their decision-making.

1) Data becomes decontextualized as organizations using data are no longer the ones collecting the data they use for their decision-making. Thereby, shared data supersedes observations of social reality at the operational level as well as the needs of specific legal contexts.

The whole of bureaucracy that is connected through data-exchange implies the organizational separation of the collection or gathering of government data from the exchange, modification, combination and/or analysis and subsequently its (re)use in decision-making processes.

Whether in automated administrative decision-making or algorithmic analyses, applications of data-driven government rest on a foundation of data. Increasingly, and especially in Western Europe, relevant data is exchanged among gov. organizations in information infrastructures.
