ИПИ Библиотека

The book consists a collection of journal articles, chapters from books, speeches, and research reports that detail the difficulties inherent in the decentralization of power and responsibility in Central and Eastern Europe. These essays provide a glimpse of some of the issues being discussed around this complex topic. The intended audience for this collection are the researchers, practitioners, and activists who are working to make the decentralization process as efficient as possible.

In administrative reforms anywhere, the search for an optimum vertical territorial structure of government and for optimum government areas has always been a highly relevant issue. As a rule, institutions of government are designed to act on more than just one geographical level - they are organized into several territorially defined tiers.
