Hardback. Zustand: Good. A prizewinning political scientist traces the origins of urban-rural political conflict and shows how geography shapes elections in America and beyond Why is it so much easier for the Democratic Party to win the national popular vote than to build and maintain a majority in Congress? Why can Democrats sweep statewide offices in places like Pennsylvania and Michigan yet fail to take control of the same states' legislatures? Many place exclusive blame on partisan gerrymandering and voter suppression. But as political scientist Jonathan A. Rodden demonstrates in Why Cities Lose, the left's electoral challenges have deeper roots in economic and political geography. In the late nineteenth century, support for the left began to cluster in cities among the industrial working class. Today, left-wing parties have become coalitions of diverse urban interest groups, from racial minorities to the creative class. These parties win big in urban districts but struggle to capture the suburban and rural seats necessary for legislative majorities. A bold new interpretation of today's urban-rural political conflict, Why Cities Lose also points to electoral reforms that could address the left's under-representation while reducing urban-rural polarization.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 476 pages. A multi-country study of the conditions under which decentralized countries m ight ensure fiscal discipline. n nIn many parts of the world, lower levels of g overnment are taking over responsibilities from national authorities. This often leads to difficulty in maintaining fiscal discipline. So-called soft budget con straints allow these subnational governments to expand expenditures without faci ng the full cost. Until now, however, there has been little understanding of how decentralization leads to large fiscal deficits and macroeconomic instability. This book, based on a research project at the World Bank, develops an analytical framework for considering the issues related to soft budget constraints, includ ing the institutions, history, and policies that drive expectations for bailouts among subnational governments. It examines fiscal, financial, political, and la nd market mechanisms for subnational discipline in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Ch ina, Germany, Hungary, India, Norway, South Africa, Ukraine, and the United Stat es. The book concludes that the dichotomy between market and hierarchical mechan isms is false. Most countries--and virtually all developing countries--must rely on market mechanisms as well as hierarchical constraints to maintain fiscal dis cipline. When bailouts cannot be avoided, they present important opportunities t o reform underlying institutions. Successful market discipline--where voluntary lenders perform important monitoring functions--is most likely to emerge from a gradual process that begins with carefully crafted rules and oversight.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - At the end of the twentieth century, academics and policymakers welcomed a trend toward fiscal and political decentralization as part of a potential solution for slow economic growth and poor performance by insulated, unaccountable governments. For the last two decades, researchers have been trying to answer a series of vexing questions about the political economy of multi-layered governance. Much of the best recent research on decentralization has come from close collaborations between university researchers and international aid institutions. As the volume and quality of this collaborative research have increased in recent decades, the time has come to review the lessons from this literature and apply them to debates about future programming. In this volume, the contributors place this research in the broader history of engagement between aid institutions and academics, particularly in the area of decentralized governance, and outline the challenges and opportunities to link evidence and policy action.…

Zustand: New. This book is for those who need a broad overview of contemporary knowledge about decentralized governance and development or are trying to identify gaps in the literature. This volume will be of use to policy practitioners and students in development studie.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - As new federations take shape and old ones are revived around the world, a difficult challenge is to create incentives for fiscal discipline. A key question is whether a politically-motivated central government can credibly commit not to bail out subnational governments in times of crisis if it funds most of their expenditures. The center can commit when subnational governments retain significant tax autonomy, as in the United States. Or if the center dominates taxation, it can tightly regulate borrowing, as in many unitary systems. In a third group of countries including Brazil and Germany, the center can neither commit to a system of market-based discipline nor gain a monopoly over borrowing. By combining theory, quantitative analysis, and historical and contemporary case studies, this book explains why different countries have had dramatically different experiences with subnational fiscal discipline.…
