| contents | Change and Continuity in Quality of Government: Trends in subnational quality of government in EU member states Nicholas Charron Víctor Lapuente Monika Bauhr Paola Annoni Estudios Territoriales 19 Covid Europe regions corruption Despite massive investments, studies suggest that anticorruption efforts often times fail and that countries and regions with historically deficient quality of government tend to be stuck in a vicious cycle of high levels of corruption and inadequate public service delivery. However, this study suggests that despite the stickiness of subnational quality of government, regional quality of government does shift over time. Using the 2021 European Quality of Government Index (EQI), and comparing the results to previous rounds of this survey, we show that there has indeed been noticeable shifts in the regional level of Quality of Government both within countries and across time. Overall, we find a slight increase in the perceived quality of government of European regions compared with 2017. However, some regions have evaded the positive trend, most notably in Poland and Hungary, whose response to the pandemic – probably not coincidentally – has involved important infringements of democratic rights and institutions. These changes in Quality of government call for a close mapping of the trends within countries and across regions and a focus on their determinants. To this end, the paper also serves as an introduction to the use of 2021 European Quality of Government (EQI) index, which is the most comprehensive survey to date to measure perceptions of subnational quality of government with a total of 129,000 respondents in 208 NUTS 1 and NUTS 2 regions and all EU 27-member state countries. 2022 artículo científico 1695-7253 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28972371001 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/289/28972371001/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/289/28972371001/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/289/28972371001/28972371001.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/289/28972371001/movil https://doi.org/10.38191/iirr-jorr.22.008 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=289 Investigaciones Regionales - Journal of Regional Research application/pdf Asociación Española de Ciencia Regional Investigaciones Regionales - Journal of Regional Research (España) Num.53 |
