Inequality is unevenly distributed across the territory and national averages obscure this variation. This study investigates which subnational level factors can help explain differences in inequality among districts. It analyzes how subnational coalitions resist or support national governments' redistributive policies. The main argument is that the type of national governing alliance (regressive or progressive) affects the level of provincial inequality, but mediated by the type of subnational coalition that supports or resists that national policy. This work empirically examines this claim analyzing the configurations of the national and subnational distributive alliances in two Argentine provinces and in relation to labor rights regulations in the agricultural sector between 2003 and 2015.

La desigualdad se distribuye de manera desigual en el territorio y los promedios nacionales oscurecen esta variación. Este estudio investiga qué factores a nivel subnacional pueden ayudar a explicar las diferencias en la desigualdad entre distritos. El trabajo analiza de que manera las coaliciones subnacionales resisten o apoyan políticas redistributivas de los gobiernos nacionales. El principal argumento es que el tipo de alianza gobernante nacional (regresiva o progresiva), incide en el nivel de desigualdad provincial, pero mediada por el tipo de coalición subnacional que apoye o resista a esa política nacional. Este argumento es examinado empíricamente a través del análisis de la configuración de las alianzas distributivas nacionales y subnacionales en dos provincias argentinas y en relación a las regulaciones de derechos laborales en el sector agrícola entre 2003 y 2015.
