Abstract/Description
Decentralization is often part of a number of related policy reforms, in which central government agencies transfer rights and responsibilities to more localized institutions. Although there are a number of different types of reforms that are sometimes referred to as “decentralization,” most call for some kind of greater organized involvement of local people.
