DECENTRALIZATION AND GOVERNANCE CAPACITY - EVRI...

It is widely assumed that the relationship between governance capacity and decentralization
determines the success in governance  but how does this relationship function is largely
contested. Does decentralization lead to an improvement in governance capacities  or are
certain capacities preconditioned in order for decentralization to lead better governance?
Relying on an empirical study of Turkish provincial municipalities  the book argues success in
decentralization is strongly influenced by the socioeconomic conditions in the province and to
a lesser extent by the local government's capacity. The book provides a novel approach to
capacity building practices and decentralization reforms by suggesting that the relationship
between decentralization and governance capacity should be addressed not only on the
organizational but also on the developmental level. In this way  the book proposes asymmetrical
decentralization according to socio-economic development at subnational level for better
governance outcomes.
