TERRGO...
…takes a fresh look at territorial self-governance in more than 2,900 second-level regions in 96 Western and non-Western democracies, semi-democracies and autocracies
- ...provides information on each generic category of self-governance units (TERRGO_C)
- ...makes available data for each individual unit (TERRGO_U)
…builds on a parsimonious conceptualization of territorial self-governance
- ...reduces the terminological confusion in the field
- ...is easily applicable and falsifiable
- ...carves out ‚differences in kind‘
…allows to untangle country-specific profiles
While some countries represent a TERRGO type in its pure form..
…others show more complex configurations or have changed their face over time
