In recent years, studies have shown that many democracies are territorially heterogeneous, because the minimal attributes of this type of regime have a very weak presence or are absent at the subnational level. Taking into account both the previous publications and the pending research agenda, the present paper raises five remarks on this field of study: two are empirical, two are conceptual and one is theoretical. Specifically, it is emphasized that this phenomenon has occurred in different historical moments and places of the world; It is also shown that the majority of research has focused on federal countries despite the fact that there are compelling reasons to extend the studies to the unit countries; Then a balance is made of the advantages and disadvantages of the different proposed concepts; Likewise, what the lessons are in the conceptual strategies left to us by the literature on democracy at the national level; And, theoretically, the theoretical debates about explanations are presented. To develop these reexiones, the article is based on an extensive literature review and empirical evidence from a field work in two regions of Peru. |
