In post-developmental Latin America, the surprising answer to this question is no. In fact, a variety of outcomes are possible, depending largely on who initiates the reforms, how they are initiated, and in what order they are introduced. Tulia G. Falleti draws on extensive fieldwork, in-depth interviews, archival records, and quantitative data to explain the trajectories of decentralization processes and their markedly different outcomes in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. In her analysis, she develops a sequential theory and method that are successful in explaining this counterintuitive result. Her research contributes to the literature on path dependence and institutional evolution and will be of interest to scholars of decentralization, federalism, subnational politics, intergovernmental relations, and Latin American politics. \u00a9 1998-2001 Amazon.com, Inc. und Tochtergesellschaften<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0521736358?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0521736358\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Buy at Amazon.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/0521736358?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=19454&amp;creativeASIN=0521736358\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Buy at Amazon.de<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Falleti, Tulia G.<em> Decentralization and Subnational Politics in Latin America<\/em>.
