Social Sciences - Anthropology / Bureaucracy
English term or phrase: favor- peddling
The source sentence says "These outsiders encountered a powerfull tradition, firmly entrenched during thr centuries of Ottoman rule, of patronage and favor-peddling."
I have found the words individually, but not in compound form. I would appreciate so much a little help here. I was thinking a possible translation like "circulación de favores", but I´m confused. Thank you!
