Boundary control: comparisons and conclusions. 330 $aThe democratization of a national government is only a first step in diffusing democracy throughout a country's territory. Even after a national government is democratized, subnational authoritarian 'enclaves' often continue to deny rights to citizens of local jurisdictions. Gibson offers new theoretical perspectives for the study of democratization in his exploration of this phenomenon. His theory of 'boundary control' captures the conflict pattern between incumbents and oppositions when a national democratic government exists alongside authoritarian provinces (or 'states'). He also reveals how federalism and the territorial organization of countries shape how subnational authoritarian regimes are built and how they unravel. Through a novel comparison of the late nineteenth-century American 'Solid South' with contemporary experiences in Argentina and Mexico, Gibson reveals that the mechanisms of boundary control are reproduced across countries and historical periods. As long as subnational authoritarian governments coexist with national democratic governments, boundary control will be at play. 410 0$aCambridge studies in comparative politics. 606 $aFederal government 606 $aSubnational governments 606 $aAuthoritarianism 606 $aCentral-local government relations 615 0$aFederal government. 615 0$aSubnational governments. 615 0$aAuthoritarianism. 615 0$aCentral-local government relations. 676 $a320.4/049 686 $aPOL000000$2bisacsh 700 $aGibson$b Edward L.$0746588 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779339803321 996 $aBoundary control$93726152 997 $aUNINA
