Abstract:
This article explores the impact of decentralisation on countries’ fiscal outcomes paying attention to one aspect usually neglected in the literature: the relevance of local politics, proxied by party system nationalisation. Based on a wide sample of developed and developing countries over the period 1970–2011, our findings are threefold. First, both fiscal and political decentralisations have a virtuous effect on fiscal performance, improving general government primary balances. Second, there is no strong evidence that nationalisation by itself enhances national fiscal outcomes. Nevertheless, when fiscal decentralisation is coupled with a certain level of nationalisation, the former improves government fiscal balances. However, when nationalisation of party systems is extremely weak, all the disciplining effects of decentralisation tend to disappear.

Abstract:
This article examines whether devolving responsibility for the provision of public services such as education in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia can satisfy the demands of non-majority groups for greater autonomy over their own affairs. How education systems are designed and delivered is of particular importance to minority ethnic communities since education is crucial for reproducing (and re-creating) the identity of a group. Without the transmission of the aspects of their identity through education, non-majority cultures may disappear. The review begins with the principal arguments in favour of and against devolving responsibility for the provision of education to local communities. An assessment of the Macedonian education system prior to decentralisation follows, accompanied by a discussion of the decentralisation reforms introduced in 2005. Three key theoretical arguments will then be considered within the Macedonian context: (a) whether decentralisation facilitates the provision of heterogeneous local public services; (b) decentralisation’s ability to enhance participation and transparency in decision-making regarding the delivery of services; and (c) whether decentralisation ensures a more equitable and transparent distribution of public resources. The article argues that the decentralisation of primary and secondary education to the municipal level in Macedonia has enabled local communities to more effectively meet the diverse needs of citizens. Persistent challenges, unless adequately addressed, may however undermine the benefits of reform in the longer term.

Abstract:
This study attempts to analyse the impact of fiscal decentralisation on economic growth. It also examines the complementarity between fiscal decentralisation and democratic institutions in promoting growth. The modelling framework is the endogenous growth model augmented with measures of fiscal decentralisation through democratic institutions. To capture the multidimensionality, three different measures of fiscal decentralisation are used. The overall analysis shows that revenue decentralisation promotes economic growth while expenditure decentralisation retards economic growth. Composite decentralisation positively influences economic growth implying that simultaneous decentralisation of revenue and expenditure reinforce each other to promote economic growth. Analysis also shows that democratic institutions play a significant role in realising the benefits of fiscal decentralisation. Various policy implications emerge from this study.

Abstract:
This study endeavours to investigate the impact of fiscal decentralisation on the welfare concerns of poverty, and income inequality in Pakistan for the time period 1972 to 2013. In order to capture the multi-dimensional nature of fiscal decentralisation, three indicators are used namely; revenue decentralisation, expenditure decentralisation and composite decentralisation. Further, the role of institutional quality is also incorporated in apprehending the responsiveness of welfare issues towards the process of fiscal decentralisation. The estimation technique of Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) is employed for estimating the impact of fiscal decentralisation on poverty and income inequality. The empirical findings suggest that fiscal decentralisation has discretely resulted in increasing poverty and income inequality in Pakistan, but the presence of better institutional quality along with fiscal decentralisation can promise to mitigate the negative consequences of fiscal decentralisation for poverty and income inequality in Pakistan. Although, the indirect effect of fiscal decentralisation on welfare concerns, through institutional quality exhibits a fluctuating trend over time, but its average marginal effect is lower than the direct effect of fiscal decentralisation on welfare concerns. Hence, it can be perceived that the log-run welfare issues can be tackled effectively in the presence of institutional quality with a rational level of fiscal decentralisation. Also in order to reap the potential benefits of fiscal decentralisation for poverty and income inequality that has remained a catastrophe in case of Pakistan.

Abstract:
Decentralisation is assumed to benefit subnational government by increasing its autonomy from central government. This paper challenges this assumption by arguing that decentralisation can have mixed effects on vertical intergovernmental relations (national-subnational). Some decentralisation policies may result in greater subnational autonomy from national government, while some decentralisation policies may paradoxically increase a subnational unit’s dependence on national government. By deconstructing decentralisation into its administrative, fiscal and political nature, and by identifying different patterns of fiscal and administrative decentralisation, the paper examines decentralisation policies in Mexico and Brazil. Although both countries have undergone decentralisation, its nature and patterns were very different and explain the different intergovernmental relations that resulted in each country. Brazil’s decentralisation led to increased subnational autonomy, while Mexico’s preserved or even increased federal executive power.

Abstract:
This study examines the role of democratic institutions in an attempt to explain the relationship between fiscal decentralisation and inflation. The empirical analysis is based on time series data over 1972–2010 for Pakistan using the GMM estimation procedure. Three different measures of fiscal decentralisation are used in order to capture multidimensionality. The major findings of the study suggest that expenditure decentralisation has a negative impact on inflation if accompanied by democratic institutions. Revenue decentralisation, however, has a negative impact on inflation even in the absence of institutions, though institutions accentuate this effect. The role of institutions, therefore, is important in realising the benefits of fiscal decentralisation. Composite decentralisation has a negative and significant impact on inflation. This implies that expenditure decentralisation becomes effective when it is complemented with revenue decentralisation. Intuitively, provincial governments become more responsive when their expenditure needs are met with their own revenues.

Abstract:
The concept of decentralisation has shaped development thinking in contemporary times in both developed and developing countries. Indeed, the demand for decentralisation is strong throughout the world because of its link to community development and improving the quality of life of mass of the people in the rural areas. Decentralisation is globally recognised as the way of ensuring community participation and local development. However, some authors argue that the purported benefits of decentralisation leading to community development are not as obvious as proponents of decentralisation suggest. In Africa, decentralisation is implemented in various forms by governments across the continent. Indeed, in West Africa, it is difficult to find a country that does not have decentralisation programme. In Ghana, decentralisation has been practiced since 1988 and the populace has come to embrace it as the best way of ensuring development and local participation in governance. Nevertheless, after nearly three decades of implementing decentralisation, which has generated rather elaborate structures and processes, Ghana still struggles to realise the expected developmental progress, or achieve the envisioned structural and procedural effectiveness. This paper explores the relationship between decentralisation and community development in Sekyere Central District. Again the paper seeks to find out the contributions decentralisation has brought to the communities in Sekyere Central District and finally investigate whether decentralisation is working as it should in the district. This paper was carried out using a mixed method approach. Purposive sampling technique was adopted to select all the assembly members in Sekyere Central District. Both primary and secondary data were collected from the relevant sources in an effort to meet the objectives of the study. The regression analysis of all the assembly members indicated that, the calculated value F is 28.25 at 5% alpha level of significant (0.000). It shows that there is significant relationship between decentralisation and community development.

Abstract:
This study focussed on the transformation of the institutions of local government from deconcentration, delegation to devolution. This transformation can be looked at starting with the institutions inherited from the colonial era, which started after the Berlin Conference of 1884, which divided Africa among the western powers. Then the transformation, which took place immediately after independence
that is the period of 1960s, the changes made in the 1980s and finally the transformation taking place following the multiparty democracy in the 1990s. The study looked at decentralisation during the colonial period
decentralisation after independence, with a particular focus on the institutions under a single party system
transformation of local government under multiparty system. It also examined the challenges facing decentralisation in the SADC region.

Abstract:
L'etude de la decentralisation en matiere culturelle suppose que l'on fasse le point de l'action culturelle de l'etat et de la legislation existante en la matiere avant de presenter le contenu et la portee des nouvelles lois de repartition des competences du grand mouvement de la decentralisation de 1982. Posee comme un principe directeur de l'action de l'etat tournee vers la democratisation culturelle, la reforme en matiere culturelle ne vise pas a donner aux collectivites decentralisees des competences. Les collectivites locales en general, les communes en particulier, exercaient de toute facon ces competences. En revanche, et de maniere originale, elle vise plutot a developper une action de partenariat entre l'etat et les collectivites locales, qui consiste en l'elaboration de formules tendant a une definition conjointe des objectifs de l'action culturelle locale et au partage des charges. Mais les realisations ne sont pas toujours a la hauteur des principes et des objectifs affiches. Une reconnaissance de la diversite des competences exercees (alors que l'on attend un transfert de responsabilites et de ressources), un accompagnement des responsabilites (qui semble placer la culture en decentralisation surveillee), laissent subsister les problemes de l'autonomie des collectivites locales et de l'echec de la democratisation culturelle
The study of the decentralization in cultural matter implies to take stock of the cultural state's action and of the existing legislation on that matter. It must be done before setting out the content and repercussion of the new laws of sharing out of the competences of the great movement which took place in 1982. The reform in the matter of culture, stated as a guiding principal of the state's action bent towards the democratization, doesn't aim at giving to decentralized communities competences. Anyway, the local communities in general, the municipalities in particular, exercised these competences. In the other hand, and in an original way, the reform rather aims to develop an action so that the state and the local communities will become partners; this action consists in the elaboration of expressions which aims at a joint definition of the purposes of the local cultural action and of the sharing out of the costs. But the realizations are not always equal to the principals and to the planned purposes. A recognition of the diversity of exercised competences (whereas a transfer of responsabilities and of resources is expected), an accompaniement of responsabilities (which seems to set the culture in a supervised decentralization) let remain the problems of the autonomy of the local communities and of the sailure of the cultural democratization

Rwandan local government system is currently making an important turning point with the introduction of democratic decentralisation. This study was carried out in order to find out the prospects and challenges of democratic decentralisation in Rwandan context. From Rwanda's independence in 1962 up to the 1999 administrative reforms, local governments, namely communes, have largely failed in their mission of being basic development units. Democratic decentralisation was then introduced to bridge gaps and correct weaknesses that undemined local governance in the past. There are some challenges like generalised poverty in the country, the nonparticipation, and dependence syndrome among citizens that need to be overcome. However, there are also opportunities that ought to be taken advantage if democratic decentralisation is to really take root in Rwanda. The main opportunity is commitment to to democracy and decentralisation by all stakeholders, the national leadership, local authorities and citizens in general. However, democratic decentralisation cannot be attained quickly. It is achieved gradually depending on citizens' understanding and to the availability of the resources. authorities and citizens in general

Abstract:
La decentralisation implique l'attribution de competences de l'etat aux collectivites locales. Mais dans le secteur culturel, des comparaisons europeennes montrent la difficulte que rencontrent tous les pays pour repartir les competences par domaines. Une autre methode consiste a croiser les approches fonctionnelle et territoriale afin de determiner les responsabilites et les charges de chaque collectivite publique. En l'appliquant en france, on peut rechercher un meilleur amenagement et developpement culturels du territoire, a condition d'une cooperation renforcee. Il faut, d'une part poursuivre dans la voie de la contractualisation initiee par l'etat, avec les conventions de developpement culturel et les contrats de plan etat- region, en l'etendant aux collectivites locales entre elles et avec l'etat deconcentre. Il convient, d'autre part, de considerer les nouveaux partenaires et les nouveaux territoires qui emergent en vertu du principe de subsidiarite. Les autorites regionales sont devenues les relais des actions culturelles et des politiques regionales communautaires. Des cooperations interregionales et transfrontalieres peuvent alors se dessiner. Les communes, quant a elles, sont invitees a se regrouper en intercommunalites de proximite ou en reseaux, en s'appuyant sur les acteurs culturels. Les villes doivent par ailleurs prendre davantage en compte leurs quartiers et leurs peripheries urbaines et rurales. Les "pays" et les agglomerations sont peut-etre les territoires de demain, mais il faut alors distinguer l'action culturelle de proximite des politiques culturelles structurantes au moyen d'equipements et de manifestations d'envergure, en fonction de leur aire de rayonnement
Decentralization implies the attribution of state power to regional and local authorities. But in the cultural sector, european comparisons show the difficulty in distributing powers according to domains of activity. Another method consists in having the functional and the territorial approaches overlap in order to determine which cultural roles and financial obligations each public authority has to assume. In applying this method to france, one can aim for a better cultural planning and development of regional and local areas, on the condition of having a reinforced cooperation. One must, on the one hand, stay on the road of establishing contracts, initiated by the government, already including planification contracts between the state and the regions and cultural development agreements with all kinds of local authorities, by extending them to contracts among themselves and with the deconcentrated state. One should, on the other hand, consider the inclusion of new partners and territorial entities that are emerging by virtue of the subsidiarity principle. Regional (state and decentralized) authorities have become intermediaries of the european union cultural actions and regional policies, that can be also transfrontier or interregional. Communes, for their part, are invited to work together as nearby neighbours or in a network, relying on their cultural actors. Furthermore, towns and cities must more intensely take into account their neighbourhoods, suburbs and rural surroundings. Geographical, cultural, economic or social subregions ("pays" in france) and metropolitan areas are perhaps the important entities of the future, but one must then distinguish the cultural actions in the proximity from the structuring cultural policies with largescale means and wide-ranging events, according to their areas of influence

Secondly, i have studied the question regarding to regional imbalances, treating successively their causes and consequences and fruitless attempts by state to reduce them, in the second part, i have analysed the question of reforms necessary to be engaged in the local and regional level in order to acced to harmonious institutions. Concerning the question of political reforms, i have suggested some propositions for renforcing sub-regional communities and activation of political and economic participation in the regional level. Regarding administrative and human reforms, i have studied the powers which should be tansfered to the regions, the questions of human and material possibilities attributed to the region and finally the cooperation needed to be established between the whole actors capable of facilitating territorial development

This thesis investigates economic aspects of the measurement of fiscal decentralisation to establish how a nation's fiscal arrangements can be consistently measured, so they can be compared internationally. A new index of fiscal decentralisation is developed that reflects two key elements of the theory of fiscal decentralisation: the fiscal autonomy of subnational governments; and their fiscal importance. The role of fiscal inequality in subnational governments' public finances is also considered. The thesis consists of nine chapters which are distinct but closely related.

Abstract:
This research is about administrative and political decentralisation processes, especially the efforts made by the Chilean state towards regional decentralisation. Thus the analysis is focused on two reforms: the creation of the Division of Planning and Development within the regional government and the direct election of regional councillors, which aims to reorganise the regional governments. Qualitative research and instrumental case study approach were used in order to develop this research. The research addresses three main topics: the understanding of decentralisation that key actors have, so that the agency according to that understanding; the scopes of the two reforms so far; and the relationship between the central state and the regions. Thus, the main findings are that Chilean decentralisation has been implemented with excessive caution and gradualism and that informal relations between key actors are essential in the creation of collaborative spaces. The research also discusses whether decentralisation is a process or a sequence of isolated events in Chile. Finally, the tension between administrative and political decentralisation is analysed in order to have a better understanding of both processes.

Abstract:
This paper gives a review on the theoretical foundation for fiscal decentralisation and a status quo analysis of the intergovernmental relations in Mongolia. It consists of two parts. Part I briefly reviews the theories of fiscal decentralisation and its impact on the nations’ welfare considering the major challenges for a transition economy. Part II of the paper describes the general structure and scope of the government and examines the current fiscal autonomy in Mongolia focusing on the four main areas of intergovernmental relations. This paper concludes that local governments in Mongolia are still far away from having the political, administrative and fiscal autonomy. New approaches for the assignments of expenditures and revenues in Mongolia are urgently needed.

Ramesh, Ananya, and Nirupama M. Vidyarthi. "Decentralisation and devolution in growing megacities. Case of Bangalore, India." In 55th ISOCARP World Planning Congress, Beyond Metropolis, Jakarta-Bogor, Indonesia. ISOCARP, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.47472/mpmv6643.

Full text
Abstract:
Through the 73rd and 74th Amendment Act of 1992, India sought to empower urban and rural local bodies. On the contrary, parallel modes of governance have undermined them. In the case of megacity Bangalore, two such modes i.e Electronic City and Smart City are studied to unpack the status of decentralisation. Key person interviews serve as primary data. Following the enquiry of decentralisation and devolution, elements of disconnectedness emerge. Disconnectedness can be seen between parts-affecting the whole, embodied as intents as well as outcomes through tools of planning, administrative, legal, political and economic choices. This leads us to enquire how we can retain decision-making power within the democratic realm and strengthen the role of local bodies in megacities. Unpacking the dynamics of decentralized governance is critical across megacities globally, as cities continue to seek autonomy not just in functioning but identity and influence, in the network of global flows.

Abstract:
This paper aims to analyse the mechanisms of policy diffusion in the context of the decentralised education system in Indonesia. The country rapidly decentralised its government in 2000, transferring responsibilities to more than 341 districts and municipalities, bypassing the provincial governments. By 2022, the number of districts and municipalities increased to 514. The education system is a suitable platform for our analysis for two main reasons. First, local education offices are exceptionally active in implementing local-level policies. In a 2017 survey conducted by the RISE Indonesia team, we found 137 policies across 63 districts. Second, measures on outcomes related to the education system is commonly found in large-scale national surveys, allowing us to construct a comprehensive data set. It is also evident that the issues present in decentralisation also exists in the implementation of education policies in Indonesia. Local government has made little to no adjustment on the design of local curriculum contents even though the central government has fully delegated the task to local governments (Bjork, 2003).

Abstract:
This paper presents an analysis of the role of decentralised institutions to understand the learning and challenges of the grass-roots-led pandemic response of Kerala. The study is based on interviews with experts and frontline workers to ensure the representation of all stakeholders dealing with the outbreak, from the state level to the household level, and a review of published government orders, health guidelines, and news articles. The outcome of the study shows that along with the decentralised system of governance, the strong grass-roots-level network of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) workers, volunteer groups, and Kudumbashree members played a pivotal role in pandemic management in the state. The efficient functioning of local bodies in the state, experience gained from successive disasters, and the Nipah outbreak naturally aided grass-roots-level actions. The lessons others can draw from Kerala are the importance of public expenditure on health, investment for building social capital, and developing the local self-delivery system.

Chofor Che, Christian Aimé. Reinforcing decentralisation and constitutionalism under the 1996 Constitution of Cameroon for peace-building and development. Fribourg (Switzerland): IFF, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.51363/unifr.diff.2023.36.

Full text
Abstract:
Cameroon faces an array of serious governance challenges today which include difficulties in handling the country’s inherited dual-state colonial heritage, particularly the perception of marginalisation by the Anglophone community. Other challenges include usurpation of duties of decentralised authorities by deconcentrated authorities, providing adequate service delivery at the local government level, upholding constitutionalism, limiting ethnic tensions, tackling minority concerns and a weak fiscal decentralisation agenda. An examination of the constitutional and legal framework of decentralisation under the 1996 Constitution, shows that these issues have not been adequately addressed under the current dispensation. Thus, there is need for some fundamental changes that would strengthen self and shared rule for better service delivery especially at the local government level. There is also a need for more power sharing at the central government level, the need for robust constitutionalism and human rights and a better fiscal decentralisation agenda.

Richards, Robin. The Effect of Non-partisan Elections and Decentralisation on Local Government Performance. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), January 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.014.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid review focusses on whether there is international evidence on the role of non-partisan elections as a form of decentralised local government that improves performance of local government. The review provides examples of this from Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. There are two reported examples in Sub-Saharan Africa of non-partisan elections that delink candidates from political parties during election campaigns. The use of non-partisan elections to improve performance and democratic accountability at the level of government is not common, for example, in southern Africa all local elections at the sub-national sphere follow the partisan model. Whilst there were no examples found where countries shifted from partisan to non-partisan elections at the local government level, the literature notes that decentralisation policies have the effect of democratising and transferring power and therefore few central governments implement it fully. In Africa decentralisation is favoured because it is often used as a cover for central control. Many post-colonial leaders in Africa continue to favour centralised government under the guise of decentralisation. These preferences emanated from their experiences under colonisation where power was maintained by colonial administrations through institutions such as traditional leadership. A review of the literature on non-partisan elections at the local government level came across three examples where this occurred. These countries were: Ghana, Uganda and Bangladesh. Although South Africa holds partisan elections at the sub-national sphere, the election of ward committee members and ward councillors, is on a non-partisan basis and therefore, the ward committee system in South Africa is included as an example of a non-partisan election process in the review.

Full text
Abstract:
This Research Brief delves into the decentralised and community-driven reintegration of formerly armed actors (FAAs), shedding light on its potential role in sustainable peacebuilding efforts and local ownership. Illustrated by case studies from Ukraine, Northern Ireland and Sub Saharan Africa, the Brief highlights the significance of decentralising administration and decision-making processes for reintegration programs. By empowering local and community levels, this approach may not only boosts efficiency and participation but also fosters broader social and economic development objectives. It also discusses existing empirical evidence of decentralisation success and possible challenges of decentralisation like increased corruption, coordination challenges or ethnic seperatism. Finally, the Brief presents a case study on the coupling of FAA reintegration and territorial development policies in Colombia.
