Illiberal Practices: Territorial Variance within Large Federal Democracies
Examine illiberal practices and territorial variance within large federal democracies, focusing on subnational regimes in Argentina, Brazil, India, Mexico, and Russia. They analyze how factors like electoral contestation, the influence of political families, state-protected violence, and control of the judiciary contribute to variations in democratic performance at the subnational level. The chapters explore how historical legacies, informal institutions, and the relationship between federal and subnational governments and parties shape the uneven distribution of political rights and accountability within these countries. Different pathways towards subnational democratization are considered, including top-down interventions and bottom-up pressures.
