Description

The Decentralization Delusion by Routledge challenges fundamental assumptions about decentralised approaches in development policy and practice. Part of the Rethinking Development series, this economics book provides critical analysis of how decentralisation strategies have been implemented and their actual outcomes in developing regions. Ideal for students, academics, and development professionals seeking to understand the gaps between decentralisation theory and real-world results, this work examines the underlying beliefs that drive development interventions and questions their validity. The Routledge publication offers evidence-based insights into why decentralisation initiatives often fail to deliver promised benefits, making it essential reading for anyone involved in development policy, international aid, or economic reform.
