Zusatztext This well-written and skillfully-executed study develops new measures to show that governance exhibits great variation within as well as between countries. The authors argue that within-nation differences are decisive for explaining variation in regional authority between countries. After a period when the bloom had gone off the rose of regional governance, this study brings it back with a new level of precision and sophistication.
