Abstract

Public Entrepreneurship, Citizenship, and Self-Governance by Paul Dragos Aligica is an important book that places the study of public entrepreneurship and citizenship as integral to notions of self-governance. This article extends the arguments made by Aligica to more extreme environments where the state is either highly authoritarian or absent. This is important, as increasingly studies of self-governance are shaped by interactions with the state. For example, the entire concept of citizenship in this book, is a product of the state. By studying governance in these most extreme cases we can see that, contrary to accepted wisdom, polycentrism is actually a consequence of self-governance, and not a cause of it.
