Governments in some democracies target economic policies, like
industrial subsidies, to small groups at the expense of many. Why
do some governments redistribute more narrowly than others? Their
willingness to selectively target economic benefits, like subsidies
to businesses, depends on the way politicians are elected and the
geographic distribution of economic activities. Based on interviews
with government ministers and bureaucrats, as well as parliamentary
records, industry publications, local media coverage, and new
quantitative data, Spending to Win: Political Institutions,
Economic Geography, and Government Subsidies demonstrates that
government policy-making can be explained by the combination of
electoral institutions and economic geography. Specifically, it
shows how institutions interact with economic geography to
influence countries' economic policies and international economic
relations. Identical institutions have wide-ranging effects
depending on the context in which they operate. No single
institution is a panacea for issues, such as income inequality,
international economic conflict, or minority representation.
