Abstract

Applying total decentralization requires efficiency in itself, because the administration-citizen relationship will move closer towards that company- client relation (initiator-agent type relationship). Through decentralization the level of a state’s democracy increases, resulting in a basis for proper governance. Transparency and responsibility of the deciding factors is improved, due to a high level of control by the public sector’s beneficiaries at the local level. A major part of the feedback offered to the public administration will be from the citizens and the civil societies, which will improve cohesion and social capital on a local level. As a corollary to the afore mentioned, decentralization’s role is to support development, first of all by a stronger motivation of the citizen’s in order to draw more resources for projects, which will have a direct impact on them and second, by focusing on the groups that find themselves in vulnerable situations.
