英文文献摘要：
Despite the presumed importance of a strong state in the development process, there has been very little empirical work assessing the state’s ability to exercise power in isolated areas and understanding the means through which the state exerts that power. This paper begins to fill this gap in the literature by examining the relationship between state power and isolation using several proxies for state power with a rich panel data set from Madagascar. We find strong evidence that the extent of state power is severely limited in isolated areas.

尽管人们认为一个强大的国家在发展进程中很重要，但很少有实证工作评估国家在孤立地区行使权力的能力，也很少了解国家行使权力的手段。本文利用马达加斯加丰富的面板数据集，使用多个国家权力代理来研究国家权力与孤立之间的关系，从而填补了文献中的空白。我们发现有力的证据表明，国家权力的范围在偏远地区受到严重限制。
