Defining decentralization Sample Clauses

Defining decentralization. Decentralization may be defined in different ways depending on one’s legal/political perspective, ideology and practical needs.96 Several scholars suggest that at present decentralization should be understood in the context of the attempt to reconcile two contrary tendencies: globalization and the wish for local self-governance97. Decentralization has thus been described98 “(…) as an alternative system of governance where a “people centered” approach to resolving local problems is followed to ensure economic and social justice. The entire process would be for locating people at the centre of power so that they become the basic engine of the development process and not, as hitherto, merely its beneficiaries.” 96 See x.x.

One refers to a complex of institutions and organizations regulating the life of society and encompassing rules and social aggregations. The other denotes the act of governing, meaning how institutions are established and organizations behave, manage affairs and govern people.99 A similar understanding underlies the development of the worldwide governance indicators used by the World Bank.100 In short, hope has been raised that decentralization will enable society to achieve the goals of poverty reduction, sustainable livelihood, environmental regeneration and gender equity at the sub-national and local levels.101 In a similar fashion, decentralization has been suggested as the solution for all the problems b...
