Modern states are organized in multi-level governance structures with economic
and political authorities dispersed across them. However, although there is
relatively widespread consensus that this form of organization is preferable to a
centralized authority, the same cannot be said about its jurisdictional design—that
is, how to transfer authority from central states to both supranational and
subnational levels. This lack of consensus also exists in contexts with explicit
initiatives to strengthen political ties such as the European Union (EU), and even
within EU member countries, a situation that is aggravated by the relative scarcity
of contributions that measure the advantages and disadvantages of different
territorial organizations. We explore these issues through a study of one EU
country, Spain, whose provincial councils (diputaciones) are often the subject of
debate and controversy due to their contribution to increasing public spending and
their purported inefficiencies, corruption, and lack of transparency. Specifically,
we combine a variety of activity analysis techniques to evaluate how they impact
on local government performance. Results suggest that, in general, the presence of
a provincial council has a positive impact on local government performance, but
when their activity levels are too high the effect can become pernicious. [-]
