Shuffle and deal again. Moving towards a sequential theory of recentralization
Abstract
The recentralization process is possible when the decentralization context is reconfigured to favor a concentration of power in central government. How does this process happen? This paper studies emerging recentralization that increases the national executive influence and decreases the subnational government’s political, administrative and fiscal capacities. Accordingly, this paper provides a recentralization politics classification in low, medium and high intensity. It shows two types of sequential recentralization trajectories and two possible scenarios. This proposed theory discusses a review of the recentralization process in Colombia and Venezuela between 2000-2020. They are two different cases analyzed from a comparative perspective.
