Towards a Philosophy of Decentralization

Meer over het boek

Decentralization in developing countries is a complex issue that requires tailored approaches rather than a one-size-fits-all model influenced by Western ideologies. The book argues that reforms should be rooted in each country's unique social, cultural, political, and economic contexts. It critiques the tendency to adopt foreign prescriptions that may not be applicable or achievable locally. By emphasizing the need for homegrown solutions, it advocates for a philosophy of decentralization that recognizes and addresses the distinct disparities among nations.
