In addition to two official section-sponsored
panels on “Decentralization and Social Forces” and “Decentralization and SocialPolicy” (scroll down for more information), the DSNG section helped to organize
the following third panel on the related topic of subnational and
intergovernmental politics.
Subnational
and Intergovernmental Power Politics
Friday 12:30 pm - 2:15 pm, Pacific Suite
A
Chair / Discussant: Carlos
Gervasoni (Universidad Torcuato di Tella)
This
panel explores the institutions, actors, issues and procedures that structure
power politics at the subnational and intergovernmental levels in an attempt to
assess the content, nature and trends of post-transition politics in Latin
America. The comparative perspective adopted in all papers is reinforced by the
fact that the panel as a whole explores subnational and intergovernmental
politics in both federal and unitary countries.
