Rethinking the contributions of the Manchester School of Social Anthropology for political ethnography, the Politics of Relations elaborates its relational approach to the state along four interlaced axes of research - embeddedness, boundary work, modalities and strategic selectivity - that enable thick comparisons across spatio-temporal scales of power.
In Serbia local experiences of self-government, infrastructure and care motivate its citizens to "become the state" while cursing it heartily. While both officials and citizens strive for a state that enables a "normal life," they navigate the increasingly illiberal politics enacted by national parties and tolerated by trans-national donors.
