  • Essays on the Political Economy of Decentralization
    Essays on the Political Economy of Decentralization By Ed Gareth Poole A thesis submitted to the Department of Government of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy London, England July 2017 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorization does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 64,174 words. 2 Abstract This thesis consists of three papers that make a distinctive contribution to the study of decentralization in the areas of fiscal policy, legislative behavior and government responsiveness. The first paper revisits theories of substate tax policy that usually draw on evidence from stable federations. Investigating fiscal decentralization reforms in four European countries subject to intense center-periphery territorial competition, I find that incentives operating in such systems generate a paradox whereby prominent autonomist regions are among the least likely to make proactive changes after decentralization. I theorize this as the best response to central government attempts at blame-shifting by locking regions into making controversial policy changes.

' L..; Subject: Press release: Cat Smith MP calls on Councillor Paul Moon to decide which council he represents Press Release: for immediate use CAT SMITH MP CALLS ON COUNCILLOR PAUL MOON TO DECIDE WHICH COUNCIL REPRESENTS Cat Smith MP for Lancaster and Fleetwood has today written to Conservative Councillor Paul Moon calling upon him to resign from his Preesall seat on Wyre Borough Council. Councillor Moon was elected to the Preesall ward on Wyre Borough Council in May 2015. A year later at the }day 2016 elections he was elected to West Lancashire Borough Council for the Hesketh-with-Becconsall ward. Although Councillor Moon is not breaking any laws by doing this is denies both communities a councillor who truly lives in and represents the communities. Ms Smith highlights some inconsistencies in Councillor Moon's voting record, supporting a charge for green waste collection in Wyre, but opposing the charge in West Lancashire Council. Ms Smith said, "f have been approached by constituents in Preesall who are upset that the councillor who they elected to serve them has moved out of the area to live in the West Lancashire area, they are angry that he has not done the decent thing and resigned his Wyre Borough Councillor seal The people of Preesall deserve a councillor who doesn;t split his time juggling commitments on two borough councils 30 mites apart. I hope thit Councillor Moon does the honourable thing and tenders his resignation so thai the people of preesall can have afull-time local councillor.,, Ends Attached: scanned copy of the letters sent my Cat Smith MP to Councillor Paul Moon, at both his addresses listed on both council websites.
