DECENTRALISATION AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT GEBUNDEN

This book analyzes decentralisation  regional development paths and success factors in
different governance sectors in Ghana  the Philippines  Tanzania and Chile  and discuss
overarching aspects of relevance. Decentralisation  which refers to the delegation of
administrative responsibilities  political decision-making and fiscal powers to lower levels of
government  is now considered one of the most efficient engines of development. In Sub-Saharan
Africa decentralised states have made more progress in reducing poverty than those states with
lower decentralisation scores. But in many countries  decentralisation is still considered a
'work in progress' with unsatisfactory results. From a spatial point of view  the link between
decentralisation and regional and district development is particularly interesting. Both in the
North and in the South  regional or district development is seen as holding the potential for
advancing social and economic development  and even more so in decentralised political
settings. Space-based networks at the regional or district level are considered instrumental
for responding to locally specific challenges  e.g. in areas lagging behind economically.
