  • Regional Autonomy in Developing Democracies Dataset
    Regional Autonomy in Developing Democracies Dataset Edition 1.12 (June 2017) Jason Sorens1 Introduction This dataset extends to other developing democracies the coding scheme developed by Hooghe, Marks, and Schakel for their Regional Authority Index of Western democracies and European democracies and semi-democracies.2 I include as democracies countries that score at least “6” on the Polity IV project’s overall index of regime type (variable name POLITY2) for at least ten consecutive years, or that score at least “6” on Polity IV’s executive constraints variable (variable name XCONST) for at least ten consecutive years. I cover the years 1950 to 2010, and code for each year the institutions in place on December 31st. As of this writing, the dataset covers only the four self-rule indicators from the Hooghe et al. study, not the shared-rule indicators. The four self-rule indicators are Institutional Depth, Policy Scope, Fiscal Autonomy, and Representation. I generally follow Hooghe et al. in their definitions of “regions,” including the minimum threshold of 150,000 mean population for regional units in a tier. However, I also code certain ethnic autonomous regions that fall below this threshold. I follow the Hooghe et al. coding scheme precisely, except for the Institutional Depth component, where I also code as “2” those regions for which the central government may assume direct rule through a normal law-making or decree-making process (i.e., without a supermajority requirement). For more information, consult the Hooghe et al. book or the online codebook to the original Regional Authority Index.3 This file contains qualitative descriptions of regional autonomy over time for each region or regional tier in each country included, as well as quantitative codes on each of the four indicators.

    Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period by Ryan Anthony Boehm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Emily Mackil, Chair Professor Erich Gruen Professor Mark Griffith Spring 2011 Copyright © Ryan Anthony Boehm, 2011 ABSTRACT SYNOIKISM, URBANIZATION, AND EMPIRE IN THE EARLY HELLENISTIC PERIOD by Ryan Anthony Boehm Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology University of California, Berkeley Professor Emily Mackil, Chair This dissertation, entitled “Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period,” seeks to present a new approach to understanding the dynamic interaction between imperial powers and cities following the Macedonian conquest of Greece and Asia Minor. Rather than constructing a political narrative of the period, I focus on the role of reshaping urban centers and regional landscapes in the creation of empire in Greece and western Asia Minor. This period was marked by the rapid creation of new cities, major settlement and demographic shifts, and the reorganization, consolidation, or destruction of existing settlements and the urbanization of previously under- exploited regions. I analyze the complexities of this phenomenon across four frameworks: shifting settlement patterns, the regional and royal economy, civic religion, and the articulation of a new order in architectural and urban space. The introduction poses the central problem of the interrelationship between urbanization and imperial control and sets out the methodology of my dissertation. After briefly reviewing and critiquing previous approaches to this topic, which have focused mainly on creating catalogues, I point to the gains that can be made by shifting the focus to social and economic structures and asking more specific interpretive questions.

  • From City-State to Provincial Town
    ATHENS: FROM CITY-STATETO PROVINCIAL TOWN A ETERTHE MIDDLE of the 2nd century B.C., the power of Rome was the domi- nating force in Greek lands. The cities and sanctuariesof Greece came one after another to feel the oppressionof the Roman legions and the rapacityof their generals, as the Hellenistic world was graduallyreshaped and reorganizedinto the eastern prov- inces of the Roman Empire. Among the old cities of classical Greece, the Roman con- quest wrought profound historicalchanges in government, in economic life, and in the conditions and aspirationsof the people. Nowhere does this emerge more clearly than in the material remains which form the archaeologicalrecord, for these enable us to document in some detail the process of cultural permutationby which a self-sufficient city-state of classicalGreece evolved into a provincialtown of the Roman Empire. The evolution left many aspects of a city's life unchanged and tenaciously Hellenic, but confrontedwith these were buildings, artifacts,and a way of life which came eventually to exhibit the internationalimperial style of the Roman world. In this confrontationof Greek and Roman, of permanenceand change, we witness the central fact and fertiliz- ing force of classical civilization as it is revealed to us by the surviving monuments of antiquity. The gradualfusion of Greek and Roman cultures in the first two centuries of Ro- man rule appearsat Athens as graphicallyas anywhere in Greece because of the city's unique position in Greek history and culture. Her glorious past as mistress of the Ae- gean still fired the spirit, while her unrivaled supremacy in the arts and letters, and especially in philosophy, still seduced the mind.

In all those Federations, Federal Constitutions ensure municipal autonomy in political, administrative, financial and operational terms.

It is considered that provinces have an originative autonomy, while Buenos Aires City a de- rived autonomy. The difference is related to the origin of both autonomies. It also entail the power limits of both autonomous authorities. The borders of the power of the prov- inces are wider than of the capital city, however its autonomy is also wide enough, more than in any other capital in Latin America. As a result of 1994 amendment of Argentin- ean Constitution, Buenos Aires City has obtained autonomy and a unique status among Argentinean administrative entities. Streszczenie Miasto Buenos Aires jako przykład autonomii wtórnej Kilkanaście lat temu w argentyńskiej doktrynie prawnej pojawiło się rozróżnienie typów au- tonomii charakterystycznych dla tamtejszego ustroju państwowego.
