I am busy with a article that will hopefully be published as my academic career takes of, and I am looking at the, especially developing democracies and new leadership. I look at the Commodification of Leadership after after change and the the impact on societal protest or revolt. I want to understand how when you come from the "leader" of the masses pre-office in the new dispensation and after the "leader" takes office and are paid for leading, how this change the "tone" and "attitude" towards the masses that it led, and as a result get social mobilisation against the "leader", and how the interst shifts from the "masses" before office to the voice of "the office" ones you assume office and are not close to the people. and problematize a "leader's" qualities for the money that the "office" in the new dispensation "buys" the leader. Does this make sense and can you perhaps see how this is related?
