Monopoly of taxation without a monopoly of violence: the weak state’s trade-offs from taxation
Abstract
The findings in this paper suggest that attempting to increase taxation by a weak state could come at the expense of safety in the medium term and of the integrity of the state in the long term.
This paper is part of the Private Enterprise Development in Low-Income Countries (PEDL) programme.
