Most countries around the globe have one or two levels of
regional or intermediate government, yet we have little systematic
idea of how much authority they wield, or how this has changed over
time.
This book measures and explains the formal authority of
intermediate or regional government in 42 advanced democracies,
including the 27 EU member states. It tracks regional authority on
an annual basis from 1950 to 2006. The measure reveals wide
variation both cross-sectionally and over time. The authors examine
four influences functional pressures, democratization, European
integration, and identity to explain regionalization over the past
half-century.
This unique and comprehensive volume will be a vital resource
for students and scholars of comparative politics, public
administration and public management, federalism, democratization,
nationalism, and multilevel governance.
