在2011年阿拉伯起义之后,一场关于地方政治和各自行动者重要性的生动的区域和国际辩论重新活跃起来,这场起义在几个中东和北非国家启动了权力下放改革。权力下放的倡导者期望改革能够促进民主化、地方自治和整体社会经济状况,但中东政权也为了自身的持久性而进行权力下放改革。本文评估了权力下放改革的潜力,以发展有助于威权升级的机制。我们系统地纳入了地方政治和动态,因为它们对于加深我们对维护非民主政权的改革潜力的理解至关重要。权力下放是一个很有希望的试验案例,因为权力从中央下放给次国家行为者和机构会影响政权控制政体的能力。在我们的分析中,我们关注影响权力下放改革结果的三个突出方面:(1)权力下放的法律大纲,(2)其金融组织以及(3)中央、区域和地方精英网络的管理。在约旦和摩洛哥,通过权力下放改革,地方威权主义升级似乎侧重于满足和遏制公民社会,以及对精英和反对派行动者的管理和控制。
A vivid regional and international debate on the significance of local politics and the respective actors came back to life after the Arab uprisings in 2011, which initiated decentralisation reforms in several MENA countries. Decentralisation advocates expect the reforms to foster democratisation, local autonomy and the overall socioeconomic situation, but Middle Eastern regimes also engage in decentralisation reforms for the sake of their own durability. This article assesses the potential of decentralisation reforms to develop mechanisms that contribute to authoritarian upgrading. We systematically include subnational politics and dynamics, as they are essential for deepening our understanding of the potential for reforms to uphold non-democratic regimes. Decentralisation is a promising test case, as the delegation of power away from the centre towards subnational actors and institutions affects the regime’s ability to control the polity. In our analysis, we focus on three salient aspects that influence the outcome of a decentralisation reform: (1) the legal outline of decentralisation, (2) its financial organisation as well as (3) the management of central, regional, and local elite networks. Subnational authoritarian upgrading via decentralisation reforms in Jordan and Morocco seem to focus on the satisfaction and containment of civil society as well as on the management and control of elites and oppositional actors.
