“…El derrumbe del sistema comunista en los países de Europa del Este también involucró una reasignación de responsabilidades entre los distintos niveles del gobierno: un gran número de éstas se transfirieron a instancias subnacionales (Hooghe et al, 2008). Fue lo que ocurrió con la mayor parte de las responsabilidades fiscales en materia de educación y salud.…”

Background: Poverty remains one of the major international challenges as reflected in the commitments adopted by the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda. In order to fight against it, international development agencies have fostered decentralization reforms that have been applied throughout the world. This means that, the analysis of the effects of fiscal decentralization on poverty has become a research area of extraordinary academic interest, but one that has produced conflicting findings. This paper aims to analyse the effect on poverty of fiscal decentralization of spending in education, health, housing, and social protection. Methods: We estimate a fixed effect model by Feasible Generalized Least Square (FGLS) using unbalanced panel data of countries. Results: The decentralization of spending has a differentiated effect on poverty: the decentralization of health and housing policies contributes to reduce poverty,

“…With a maximum score on self-rule, Quebec and the other Canadian provinces have the highest autonomy within their own jurisdictions of all subnational governments worldwide. Quebec has wide-ranging competences in areas such as agriculture, environment and immigration, and exclusive ownership over public lands and natural resources (Hooghe et al, 2008b: 188). Yet the distribution of competences in Canada is in many cases opaque, due to the fact that the constitution, written in 1867, is often unclear (Poirier, 2009: 108–10).…”

“…Federal laws are only binding for the federal government and no hierarchy exists between federal and subnational legislation. Flanders disposes of exclusive competences in many important areas such as environment, spatial planning, economic development and transport (Hooghe et al, 2008b: 185–86). Flanders also has a relatively high degree of shared rule due to the formal powers the subnational entities have through the Belgian federal legislature 4 .…”

Abstract. Sustainable development needs to be tackled at all governmental levels. Moreover, policies need to be integrated, horizontally and vertically. This article studies the efforts of subnational governments and their strategies towards vertical policy integration. Four cases are compared: Quebec (Canada), Flanders (Belgium), North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany) and North Holland (the Netherlands). The assumption is that their approaches are determined by their degree of autonomy, which involves their competences within their own borders (self-rule) and their influence on national decision making (shared rule). The findings, however, show that degree of autonomy does not shape the subnational governments' stance towards vertical policy integration for sustainable development. Rather, it is influenced by other factors, such as political dynamics. The analysis also puts forward that the degree of self-rule of subnational governments has a large influence on the content of sustainable development policies, not only at the subnational, but also at the national level.Résumé. Le développement durable doit être poursuivi à tous les niveaux de pouvoir. En plus, les politiques doivent être intégrées horizontalement et verticalement. Cet article étudie les efforts des gouvernements sous-nationaux et leurs stratégies envers l'intégration politique verticale. Il compare quatre cas d'étude: le Québec (Canada), la Flandre (Belgique), la Rhénanie-du-Nord-Westphalie (Allemagne) et la Hollande Septentrionale (Pays-Bas). L'assomption est que leur approche se détermine par leur degré d'autonomie, qui est constitué par leurs compétences à l'intérieur de leurs propres frontières (self-rule) et par leur pouvoir à influencer la prise de décision nationale (shared rule). Cependant, les résultats démontrent que le degré d'autonomie ne détermine pas la position des gouvernements sous-nationaux envers l'intégration politique verticale pour le développement durable. Leur position est influencée plutôt par d'autres facteurs, tels que le contexte politique. L'analyse propose aussi que le degré de self-rule des gouvernements sous-nationaux a une grande influence sur le contenu des politiques de développement durable, non pas seulement au niveau sous-national, mais aussi au niveau national.

“…Ученым было сформулировано определение парадипломатии как «прямого продолжения государственного управления, международной деятельности» [8]. В данном контексте основным предметом рассмотрения выступает региональный субъект, который характеризуется как «согласованная территориальная единица, расположенная между местным и национальным уровнями и имеющая легитимность для принятия решений» [9].…”

This paper examines the phenomenon of “paradi-plomacy” and its implementation in international environmental policy. The genesis of the studied concept is traced in the process of the academic discussion of three approaches: Soldatos/Duchacek, Der Derian, Hoking. The practical implementation of this phenomenon in the framework of the work of paradiplomatic organizations in the field of envi-ronmental policy is considered. A comparative anal-ysis of the history of development and practical ac-tivities of two international organizations: Regions4 and Northern Forum is carried out. In general, given the objective differences and unique features, one can note common challenges for such structures in the form of a lack of political opportunities and lack of financial independence. Overcoming these limita-tions seems realistic only through their evolutionary integration into the global complex system of envi-ronmental policy: cooperation of paradiplomatic organizations with the system of international insti-tutions (UN and its structures, EU, EAEU, etc.); greater subordination within the global hierarchical structure; strengthening bottom-up mechanisms so that regional representatives have the opportunity to speak out and be heard on issues of importance to them.
