Publication of 'The Rise of Regional Authority'
Dr Arjan Schakel is the co-author of this new book.
The book tracks regional authority on an annual basis from 1950 to 2006. The measure reveals wide variation both cross-sectionally and over time. The authors examine four influences – functional pressures, democratization, European integration, and identity – to explain regionalization over the past half-century.
This comprehensive volume will be an important resource for students and scholars of comparative politics, public administration and public management, federalism, democratization, nationalism, and multilevel governance.
