Abstract

ABSTRACT In recent years, a sizeable literature on subnational authoritarian regimes in democracies has emerged. In some countries local authoritarian enclaves have persisted despite the democratization of politics at the national level. Even more intriguing, new subnational authoritarian regimes have emerged in the context of national level democratization. Finally, scholars have noted that there is considerable variance in subnational authoritarian regime durability between and within countries. This article will examine why subnational authoritarian regimes have not emerged in Indonesia. Arguably, the difficulties of subnational elites to concentrate control over local economies; the high economic autonomy of voters; and the rigid institutional framework of Indonesia’s decentralized unitary state have inhibited the rise of durable subnational authoritarian regimes in the world’s third largest democracy. One of the first studies on subnational authoritarian regimes in a decentralized unitary state, the article engages and informs the broader literature on subnational authoritarian regimes.

次国家威权主义的局限性:比较视角下的印尼地方政府首脑选举
近年来,出现了大量关于民主国家次国家专制政权的文献。在一些国家,尽管在国家一级进行了政治民主化,但地方独裁飞地仍然存在。更有趣的是,在国家层面民主化的背景下出现了新的地方独裁政权。最后,学者们注意到,在国家之间和国家内部,地方专制政权的持久性存在相当大的差异。这篇文章将探讨为什么地方独裁政权没有出现在印度尼西亚。可以说,地方精英难以集中控制地方经济;选民的高度经济自主权;以及印尼分散的单一制国家僵化的制度框架,抑制了这个世界第三大民主国家持久的地方独裁政权的崛起。这篇文章是对分散的单一制国家的次国家威权政权的首批研究之一,它涉及并提供了有关次国家威权政权的更广泛的文献。

期刊介绍: The upsurge of academic and political interest in regional and federal questions since the 1980s has been stimulated by the salience of regions in EU policy-making and the Structural Funds but also by regionalization and federalization processes in many Western states. The most striking example is the devolution occurring in the UK, but the process is at work all over Europe and in other parts of the world. These developments have led to many important research programmes and projects. Regional and Federal Studies is a refereed social science journal which provides an academic forum for the publication of international research on these issues. It is essential reading for both academics and practitioners in politics, administration and the business world.
