''The Architecture of Government: Rethinking Political Decentralization''
Tbilisi. Interested persons can get familiar with
Daniel Treisman’s book "The Architecture of Government: Rethinking Political
Decentralization” in the Regional Development and Local Self-Government
Resource Center.The author notes that political decentralization
is often viewed as the mechanism of improving the governance. In the opinion of
those favoring decentralization, proximity of governance and people is a
certain warrant of human rights protection, avoiding the ethnic conflicts and
citizen participation in the politics. Daniel Treisman believes that such
arguments are often unjustified and rethinking the theory of decentralization
well is required. Based on the empirical examples examined in the book, the
author thinks that it is impossible to state whether decentralization is
beneficial in a specific case or not.
