  • 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.

They understood, however, that a decision could not be made today because of the deterioration in the building’s condition and a shortfall in capital funding. The deputation sought reassurance from the Council that: all parties supported the establishment of a dedicated Gaelic primary school in Edinburgh; the current problems with the Bonnington building were only a temporary setback for the provision of a dedicated Gaelic primary school; and the Gaelic or English stream intakes at Tollcross Primary School would not be affected.

  • Spring 2015 the Newsletter of Duddingston Village Conservation Society
    25 The Paddock Spring 2015 The newsletter of Duddingston Village Conservation Society Welcome This newsletter is delivered free to everybody who lives in the Duddingston Conservation Area, and it’s also posted to a number of others with an interest in Duddingston. DVCS publishes and fnances the newsletter on behalf of its members. Duddingston’s Conservation Area is in two parts, the “old village” focused on The Causeway and Old Church Lane, and an area to its east comprising Cavalry Park Drive and Duddingston House and Courtyard. The Paddock is the newsletter of the whole Conservation Area, and we welcome suggestions from anybody who wants to contribute to it. For the beneft of newcomers, we wanted to start by showing (opposite) the main facilities of the old village, including the land which DVCS recently bought from the NTS (shaded lime green), the Field (rented from the Council), and attractions such as the Grade-A listed Kirk, Dr Neils Garden, the Millar and Kirk Halls and the Sheep Heid pub. The access to some of these is far from obvious, as many of us know from having guided baffed visitors on the street. The red dotted lines on this fne map should help newcomers to fnd their way around on foot. Whilst the laying chickens, veggie garden and orchard are the focus of a lot of work and fun, it is conservation that lies at the heart of our priorities. So please turn to pages 4-5, where our Chairman expresses grave concerns about the shortcomings of Edinburgh Council’s planning process, and its effect on our Credit: thanks to Ingrid Tait for this original artwork Conservation Area.
