This volume presents a framework designed to help international
development partners consider the relevance of political economy
issues for their programmatic support to decentralization and local
government reform. The intention is neither to advocate
decentralization in general or in any particular form, nor to
presume or privilege any particular decentralization objective.
Instead, the purpose is to document the potential value of better
understanding how (primarily national and intergovernmental)
political and institutional dynamics do or could affect the scope
for realizing decentralization reforms aligned with commonly
advocated service delivery, governance, and poverty reduction
goals. The underlying premise is that systematic analysis of these
issues can productively complement the dominantly technical
diagnostic work typically carried out by development partners.
Specifically, development partners can benefit from better
understanding the practical significance of motives that drive
politicians and bureaucrats to support or oppose reform at various
stages of the decentralization process, from making an initial
reform decision to detailed design and implementation. In addition,
the authors address how these incentives can weaken, strengthen, or
shift in response to changes in political and economic conditions
that arise after reform begins. A general approach to conducting
political economy of decentralization analysis is outlined,
recognizing the need to tailor such analysis to the particular
country context. This volume is based on literature reviews and
knowledge derived from selected country experiences.
