Abstract
Democratic states often decentralize power
because the dispersion of prerogatives and
responsibilities improves the involvement of
ordinary people in government. Political elites in
semi- or non-democratic states, in contrast, tend
to prefer power concentration, as they benefit from
centralized decision-making and implementation;
policymakers in regionally diverse states may
promote centralized power in order to prevent
secession.
