Challenging the conventional wisdom that decentralization reforms put more power in the hands of governors and mayors, Falleti draws on extensive fieldwork, in-depth interviews, archival records, and quantitative data to explain the different trajectories of decentralization processes in post-developmental Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, and their markedly divergent outcomes.
