3 Key aspects of the research Topicality and the problematic of the research Key aspects of the research Topicality of the research The "center-periphery"problem in the contemporary world (in the unitary as well as in the federal states). Olga Gasparyan (HSE) MPSA Conference 2014 April 6, / 19
4 Key aspects of the research Topicality and the problematic of the research Key aspects of the research Topicality of the research The "center-periphery"problem in the contemporary world (in the unitary as well as in the federal states). Research Question Could political decentralization affect the loss of the central government legitimacy? Olga Gasparyan (HSE) MPSA Conference 2014 April 6, / 19
5 Key aspects of the research Initial Hypothesis Key aspects of the research Political Decentralization could have a number of negative externalities on some socio-economic and political institutions ( federalism disillusion concept); Olga Gasparyan (HSE) MPSA Conference 2014 April 6, / 19
6 Key aspects of the research Initial Hypothesis Key aspects of the research Political Decentralization could have a number of negative externalities on some socio-economic and political institutions ( federalism disillusion concept); Political Decentralization could stimulate the strength of the regional parties (D.Brancati,2008); Olga Gasparyan (HSE) MPSA Conference 2014 April 6, / 19
7 Key aspects of the research Initial Hypothesis Key aspects of the research Political Decentralization could have a number of negative externalities on some socio-economic and political institutions ( federalism disillusion concept); Political Decentralization could stimulate the strength of the regional parties (D.Brancati,2008); Regional authorities turns out to be more effective on the regional and local decision-making process ( New regionalist literature).
