Abstract

This article aims to address the effects of political decentralization on the
regional political elite. We observe whether a bifurcation is taking place
regarding the national elite, through a predominance of local and regional
careers. We use a descriptive approach of the political careers of the regional
presidents and prime ministers in Spain, France and United Kingdom,
comparing amongst countries and periods of time. The data suggest the
existence of different patterns, in which local and national paths tend to
dissociate, creating distinctive cursus honorum. Spain is the best case to
observe the arise of political careers linked to the new regional institutions.
