Geography, Capacity, and Inequality - Spatial Inequality (Paperback): Pablo Beramendi, Melissa Rogers Geography, Capacity, and Inequality - Spatial Inequality (Paperback)
Pablo Beramendi, Melissa Rogers
R521 Discovery Miles 5 210 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In this Element, we investigate how economic geography, the distribution of subnational economic endowments within a nation, shapes long-run patterns of inequality through its impact on the development of fiscal capacity. We present an argument that links economic geography to capacity through different types of industrialization processes. We show how early industrializers shape spatial distributions domestically by investing in productivity across their nations, and externally by reinforcing spatial polarization among late industrializers. We also show how differences in economic geography impact the process of capacity building, setting the stage for the modern politics of redistribution discussed in Volume II. We support this argument with descriptive data, case studies, and cross-national analyses.

The Politics of Advanced Capitalism (Hardcover): Pablo Beramendi, Silja Hausermann, Herbert Kitschelt, Hanspeter Kriesi The Politics of Advanced Capitalism (Hardcover)
Pablo Beramendi, Silja Hausermann, Herbert Kitschelt, Hanspeter Kriesi
R2,271 Discovery Miles 22 710 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book serves as a sequel to two distinguished volumes on capitalism: Continuity and Change in Contemporary Capitalism (Cambridge, 1999) and Order and Conflict in Contemporary Capitalism (1985). Both volumes took stock of major economic challenges advanced industrial democracies faced, as well as the ways political and economic elites dealt with them. However, during the last decades, the structural environment of advanced capitalist democracies has undergone profound changes: sweeping deindustrialization, tertiarization of the employment structure, and demographic developments. This book provides a synthetic view, allowing the reader to grasp the nature of these structural transformations and their consequences in terms of the politics of change, policy outputs, and outcomes. In contrast to functionalist and structuralist approaches, the book advocates and contributes to a 'return of electoral and coalitional politics' to political economy research.

The Political Geography of Inequality - Regions and Redistribution (Paperback): Pablo Beramendi The Political Geography of Inequality - Regions and Redistribution (Paperback)
Pablo Beramendi
R929 Discovery Miles 9 290 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book is a study of the politics of redistribution and inequality in political unions. It addresses two questions: why some political systems have more centralized systems of interpersonal redistribution than others, and why some political unions make larger efforts to equalize resources among their constituent units than others. This book presents a new theory of the origin of fiscal structures in systems with several levels of government. The argument points to two major factors to account for the variation in redistribution: the interplay between economic geography and political representation on the one hand, and the scope of interregional economic externalities on the other. To test the empirical implications derived from the argument, the book relies on in-depth studies of the choice of fiscal structures in unions as diverse as the European Union, Canada, and the United States in the aftermath of the Great Depression; Germany before and after Reunification; and Spain after the transition to democracy.
