Taking a multidisciplinary approach to the dynamics of political
and economic decentralization in contemporary regimes, this
comprehensive Handbook offers a critical examination of how the
decentralization of governance affects citizen well-being. Expert
contributors provide an analysis of theoretical developments and
empirical approaches in the study of decentralization, exploring
how decentralization is conceptualized and measured. Chapters
examine central topics including how the degree and type of
decentralization varies over time and across countries, how
political decentralization affects the behaviour of parties and
voters, and the social and economic consequences of decentralizing
power. Offering a comparative perspective, the Handbook utilizes
insightful international case studies from Latin America, North
America, Western Europe and Asia. Attention is also paid to the
impact of the Great Recession of 2008 and the Covid-19 pandemic on
intergovernmental relations. This Handbook will be a valuable
resource for scholars and students of political geography and
geopolitics, regulation and governance, and international politics.
It will also be useful for practitioners in these fields who are
interested in decentralization.
The Oxford Handbook of Spanish Politics provides a comprehensive
and comparative overview of the Spanish political system through
the lens of political science. It aims to move away from a
complacent analysis of Spanish democracy and provide a nuanced view
of some of its strengths and challenges. The Handbook introduces
Spanish politics to an international audience of scholars and
practitioners. It is structured around six sections that cover
Spain's political history, institutional changes, elections, civil
society, policy-making, and foreign affairs. The volume brings
together a distinguished group of 47 internationally renowned
scholars who study Spain in its own right, or as a case among
others in a comparative perspective. The contributors provide
expert accounts of contemporary Spain, making the Oxford Handbook
of Spanish Politics an invaluable resource for anyone interested in
Spanish politics and government since the country's transition to
democracy.
