Decentralization of Governance and Development
指出发展中国家与发达国家的制度环境不同，因此发展背景下的分权研究需超越传统财政联邦主义，回顾了公共服务和地方商业发展方面的理论与案例，并提出未来研究方向。
In this paper we note that the institutional context (and therefore the structure of incentives and organization) in developing and transition economies is quite different from those in advanced industrial economies, and this necessitates the literature on decentralization in the context of development to go beyond the traditional fiscal federalism literature. We review some of the existing theoretical work and empirical case studies of decentralization from the point of view of delivery of public services and of conditions for local business development, and point to ways of going forward in research.
