Hardback. Condizione: Very 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. Condizione: 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.…
