Reviews

"<""Painstakingly researched, rigorously argued, and beautifully written, this book not only offers an insightful deep dive into the often-paradoxical world of French politics but also, and as importantly, a way of understanding and explicating the relationship between political trajectory, experience, and actual practice all over the world.>"" Javier Auyero, University of Texas at Austin <""There is a new enemy in many Western democracies today: the ""career politician.>"" Will the insurgent political new-comers who attack the status quo in so many capitals around the world succeed? Through an unusual combination of ethnography, in-depth interviews, and computational methods, Étienne Ollion offers the most authoritative answer to this question I've yet seen. His book offers new theoretical insight, rigorous empirical inquiry, and a compelling new model for how social science can be done."" Chris Bail, Duke University <""Ollion deftly mobilizes a wide range of qualitative and quantitative methods to show how, in spite of this striking renewal of personnel, an institutionalized <""waiting line>"" continued to regulate access to the levers of power. The demonstration is brilliant and essential, with implications for the study of politics everywhere.>"" Marion Fourcade, UC Berkeley"
