Decentralization and Conflict: The Missing Link in State Capacity Literature presents the following source proposition: This study, however, draws attention to the many data problems that need to be solved before we can rule out the possibility that decentralization deters civil war. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A radically decentralized economy cannot be achieved incrementally: eight institutional problems that centralized business solved centuries ago must all be solved simultaneously, and their solutions must be integrated with one another. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
