Because of the redistributive nature of institutions and the availability of implementable alternatives with different distributive consequences, the desire of federation members to change institutional specifics in their favor is a permanent feature of the federal political process. This is so for two reasons. First, states or their equivalents in democratic federations usually can succeed in renegotiating the rules if they feel sufficiently motivated to do so. Second, in the case of a federation it is more or less clear who stands to benefit from any change in institutions. Thus, the existence of an equilibrium of constitutional legitimacy at the popular and elite levels cannot be taken for granted. The authors show that the presence in the political process of agents who are 'naturally committed' to the status-quo institutional arrangement can suffice to coordinate voters to act as if they support existing constitutional arrangements.

This book challenges the common perception of authoritarian regimes as incompatible with federalism and decentralization. It examines how the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan have managed to exploit federalism and decentralization as useful instruments to help them preserve control, avoid political instability, and to shift blame to the regional authorities in times of crises and policy failures. The authors explain how post-Soviet authoritarian regimes balance the advantages and risks and emphasize the contradictory role of external influences and threats to the institutional design of federalism and decentralization. Advancing our understanding of how the institutions of federalism and decentralization are skillfully constrained, but at the same time used by authoritarian incumbents, they show that federalism and decentralization matter in non-democracies, though the nondemocratic character of the political systems greatly modifies their effects. The authors show the implication of the COVID-19 crisis and current Russian war against Ukraine for the center-regional relations in Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of post-Soviet politics, decentralization, federalism, and modern authoritarianism.

Shows how to turn real-word human rights practices into comparable numbers, evaluates the barriers to improvement, and ranks countries of the world.Science and the Study of Human Rights provides a clear, teachable framework for comparing human rights practices across countries and over time and for developing theories about why some governments violate rights more than others. The book explains why the scientific method offers a powerful approach to studying human rights and shows how systematic evidence can improve research, policy analysis, and public understanding. The authors introduce a wide range of publicly available human rights indicators, with particular attention to the CIRIGHTS Data Project, which three of the authors codirect. The book also offers a concise overview of other leading measurement efforts—including Freedom House, V-Dem, the Political Terror Scale (PTS), the Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI), and SNARP—highlighting what each measures, where each excels, and where each has limitations. Designed for scholars, graduate students, governments, and intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations, this book will also be valuable to students, journalists, policymakers, and activists. By promoting a comparative perspective and the use of annually updated data, Science and the Study of Human Rights helps readers better understand states' obligations and supports the broader goal envisioned by the drafters of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: improving rights protection through knowledge and accountability.
