Protektion


Explanation:
In Österreich sagen wir Protektion oder Freunderlwirtschaft.
Neutral ist Nepotismus, wie oben vorgeschlagen, oder Vetternwirtschaft.
In allen Fällen ist es das Wort für die Sache, und nicht für die Person (wie Influence Peddler). Man muss den Satz dann entsprechend umschreiben.
