- This special edition brings together results from a multi-institutional research programme conducted over five years in 11 Latin America countries, to investigate the drivers of sub-national development and the steps required to stimulate and promote territorial dynamics that are conducive to sustainable development outcomes. The special issue argues that whether sub-national territories are able to achieve growth, reductions in poverty and inequality, and also sustainable development outcomes, depends on the nature of coalitions in each territory and how they are able to craft new institutional arrangements for the allocation of resources. Bebbington was one of three editors for the special issue. He co-ordinated the program’s research in Bolivia, co-authored an early synthesis paper for the overall research programme and was centrally involved throughout this research programme, and also a successor programme that led to a further collection on the related topic of territorial poverty traps that Bebbington also co-edited (2018, Universidad Iberoamericana). He is co-author of four contributions to the special edition, including the Introduction, which sets out a new conceptual framework for understanding spatial diversity from a more political and institutional perspective (component 1); a comparative empirical study that applies this framework to the case of external investments in three different territories across two different countries (component 2); a territorially based case study using elements of the framework to analyse the effects of natural gas development in Bolivia (component 3); and the final synthesis paper in the collection, which brings together insights from all ten substantive papers in the collection into conversation with the conceptual framework and sets out the theoretical and strategic implications that flow from this (component 4). The four components combined therefore offer a unified contribution on the theory and politics of sub-national development drawn from the same research project.
