This book is an in-depth empirical study of four Asian and African
attempts to create democratic, decentralised local governments in
the late 1980s and 1990s. The case studies of Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire,
Karnataka (India) and Bangladesh focus upon the enhancement of
participation; accountability between people, politicians and
bureaucrats; and, most importantly, on whether governmental
performance actually improved in comparison with previous forms of
administration. The book is systematically comparative, and based
upon extensive popular surveys and local field work. It makes an
important contribution to current debates in the development
literature on whether 'good governance' and decentralisation can
provide more responsive and effective services for the mass of the
population - the poor and disadvantaged who live in the rural
areas.
