Fiscal Federalism in Theory and Practice by Mrs.Teresa Ter-Minassian Pdf

Over the past few decades, a clear trend has emerged worldwide toward the devolution of spending and, to a lesser extent, revenue-raising responsibilities to state and local levels of government. One view is that the decentralization of spending responsibilities can entail substantial gains in terms of distributed equity and macroeconomic management. The papers in this volume, edited by Teresa Ter-Minassian, examine the validity of these views in light of theoretical considerations, as well as the experience of a number of countries.

The Theory and Practice of Local Government Reform by Brian Dollery,Lorenzo Robotti Pdf

'Structural reform has been one of the most important, and yet one of the most neglected, aspects of modern local government. This book represents the first attempt, since the early seventies, at providing a comprehensive account of both the theory and practice of structural reform in local government in developed countries. Using recent policy experience from seven different countries, the authors present seminal theoretical perspectives on structural reforms in local governance and the policy implications deriving from them. Written by well-known scholars of local government from around the world, this volume is a "must-read" for all academics, practitioners, students and policymakers.' - Giorgio Brosio, University of Turin, Italy

Decentralization and Development. Fiscal federalism in theory and practice by Samuel Mäurer Pdf

Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Economics - Finance, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: This seminar paper deals with a critical discussion of the economic insight from chapter 8: Decentralization and development of the Handbook on Fiscal Federalism. Decentralization is generally defined as the transfer of certain administrative and fiscal functions or powers of a central authority to several local authorities. The main advantage of local decentralization is that local governments are more efficient at providing certain public services compared to the higher levels of government Oates (1972). The chapter focuses on the type of decentralization in developing and transition economies, on the transfer of political decision-making power to subnational levels of government and cases where local community organizations formally participate in the implementation of funded and centrally directed projects. It’s important to mention that the chapter distinguishes decentralization in the sense of decentralization of political decision-making power from administrative delegation of functions of the central government to the local one. However, the effects of a policy of decentralization may differ sustainably. Like the common case when the central government delegates responsibility for social sector expenditure to local authorities in the form of unfunded mandates, which results in a closure of the social programmes. Decentralization can be used to serve the political power of the central government to dispel some authority, when the central control might be threatened by regional interest. During the apartheid regime in South Africa, decentralization was used as an instrument of central control and racial division. But on the other hand, it also has positive effects where decentralization is the result of the recent transition from authoritarianism to democracy, as in countries such as Brazil or Indonesia.

Federalism by Cheryl Saunders Pdf

Federalism: The Australian Experience offers readers a first-hand insight into one of the oldest federations in the world by an Australian expert, Prof Cheryl Saunders. The Australian Constitution is approaching its centenary and it is expected that students of political science, constitutional law, fiscal federalism and practitioners will in the years to come show a growing interest in how the constitution and practice are adapting to the demands of the 21st century. From a South African point of view, studies on Australian federalism have been somewhat neglected over the years. This is unfortunate and we hope that this publication will generate more interest in the subject. Some of the issues that could be of interest to South African researchers are for instance the treatment of indigenous people and efforts to accommodate their demands for land; the operation of the Commonwealth Grants Commission and its impact on policy, and the functioning of intergovernmental relations between the federal and state governments and also between state and local governments and between state governments themselves.
