The Political Economy of Capital Cities

Focusing on secondary capital cities (SCCs), this book explores the often-neglected dynamics that shape policy and economic development in these regions. Through four detailed case studies, it highlights the unique challenges and opportunities faced by SCCs, offering insights into their roles within national contexts. By examining these lesser-studied areas, the work aims to enrich the discourse in economic geography and political science, shedding light on their significance in the broader landscape of governance and development.
