Decentralization and Subnational Politics in Latin America Falleti Paperback

Decentralization and Subnational Politics in Latin America\n\nTulia G. Falleti explains the different trajectories of decentralization processes in post-developmental Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, and why their outcomes diverged so markedly.\n\nTulia G. Falleti (Author)\n\n9780521736350, Cambridge University Press\n\nPaperback / softback, published 12 April 2010\n\n312 pages\n22.9 x 15.2 x 1.6 cm, 0.42 kg\n\n\u201CTulia Falleti\u2019s study of decentralization in Latin America is a jewel of thoughtful, comparative analysis. Why is there so much variation in the autonomy of subnational governments? The answer is elegant and powerful: final outcomes depend heavily on initial reforms. A territorial coalition that prioritizes political over administrative decentralization carves a path to deeper subnational autonomy than one that prefers administrative over political decentralization. This is a must-read for anyone interested in decentralization.\u201D\n\u2014Liesbet Hooghe, U]
