Decentralization

Not only is it squarely in the forefront of the development debate throughout Latin America, Africa and Asia, but it is also at the center of public policy-making in Europe and North America under the guises of subsidiarity, devolution, and federalism.

Decentralization Task Force Chair:
Jean-Paul Faguet - Lecturer in the Political Economy of Development, London School of Economics
