A recent wave of decentralization in Latin America has increased
the prominence of politicians at the subnational level. Politics
Beyond the Capital is the first book to place this trend in
comparative historical perspective, examining past episodes of
decentralization alongside contemporary ones to determine whether
consistent causal factors are at play. At the center of the book is
the rigorous testing of two key hypotheses that attribute
decentralization to liberalizing changes in political regime type
and economic development strategy. The book focuses on the four
Latin American countries where politicians have most extensively
engaged in the redesign of subnational institutions: Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay. By reframing the "politics of
decentralization" as the "politics of designing subnational
institutions," the book moves beyond the policy orientation of much
of the current literature, and broadens the debate by analyzing not
just decentralization but re-centralization as well.
