To complete the PhD study programme in Political Science Jonathan Stavnskær Doucette presents his PhD dissertation, giving a public lecture followed by a defence   

The subject of the lecture is:

What implications (lessons) does your argument have for the analysis of contemporary processes of economic development, state building and democratization? In your answer, discuss the mechanisms of diffusion and the politics of reform, more specifically, how reformers learn about the set of feasible reforms and the reasons they are not able to reform themselves without learning from the examples of others.

The title of the dissertation:

The Roots of Urban Self-Government
