Session Submission Type: Virtual Created Panel
The papers on this panel focus on a variety of key issues in the study of communist and post-communist areas: corruption, decentralization, clientelism, and authoritarianism. However, they are linked in their focus on subnational levels of analysis. As part of the broader “subnational turn” in political science, these papers are particularly revelatory because they identify subnational variation in countries that were once, and in some cases remain, highly centralized with planned economies. This panel is one of two that are devoted to showcasing cutting edge research on subnational politics in communist and post-communist studies.
