Abstract:

The article engages on purported Zimbabwe centralization of local administrative authority in recent years. The engagement takes place against the background of Zimbabwe having previously made notable inroads in its decentralization reforms earlier on in its history following the end of colonial rule. The article drew from robust document analysis, decentralization theory and the concepts of decentralization and centralization to engage on national government’s centralization of local administrative authority in Zimbabwe. The article finds that it is something of a paradox that present-day Zim

Abstract:

Public service provision and administration have been transformed by digitalisation and the application of information and communication technologies (ICT). The article will focus mainly on the impact of these changes on regulatory issues. New approaches have been developed: “soft power” issues, like regulation and standards of public service provision, and central financial tools have become new elements of centralisation reforms, and the concentration of local public services and local administration has become a new issue, especially in Northern and Western Europe. Similarly, the “platformi

Abstract:

The Centralisation of the British Education System : “the Market Rules”. During the 1980s the organisation of education in the UK passed from the era of “local government” to a conception based upon a mixture of centralisation and entrepreneurial vision. The introduction of the national curriculum in the important 1988 law on schools marked the first stage of centralisation and has been followed by a growth in the areas of government intervention at the expense of local education authorities. In order to ensure a more efficient education system centralisation has been combined with a reinforce

Abstract:

Abstract It is very difficult to group countries and state structures according to the extent of their decentralisation or the model they follow in the spatial distribution of power. The strengthening of local municipalities and the almost continuous evolution of their role reflects the steady downsizing of public services provided by the state and the extension of market circumstances. Until the economic crisis in 2008, the importance of state redistribution increased in almost each of the developed countries, more and more nation state functions were centralised under the authority of intern

This paper has two main purposes: first, it measures the level and degree of decentralisation in contemporary Korea, and, second, it explains why decentralisation is slow or stagnant. To measure the level of decentralisation in Korea, this paper uses Page & Goldsmith’s triple measures of function, discretion, and access, which were developed to examine the extent of centralisation and decentralisation in any given polity. The results suggest that Korea is both legally and politically centralised. In Korea, a centralised party system has combined with other factors to drive centralisation,

However, it may be argued that the transition to the Web 3.0 era – the era of the most advanced, most intelligent and customised web technologies – may put such centralisation efforts into a new context.

Decentralisation in Taiwan : the Question of Financial Capacities Taiwan's economic development has been followed by a surge in demands made by citizens at the local level. The decentralisation movement linked to the democratisation process has led to a delegation of competence from the centre in favour of local authorities. This decentralisation, however, remains largely theoretical because of the marked centralisation of financial resources. Financial decentralisation must, therefore, be the next step.

Both of these scenarios hold significant implications for education and local government.

India’s human capital interventions have been marked by growing centralisation, not just by the Centre vis-à-vis the States, but also by the States vis-à-vis local governments, that form the third tier in India’s federal structure.

Abstract:

In Denmark, large parts of welfare have traditionally been the business of local authorities. In particular, municipalities have played an essential role because they have the power to levy taxes and their autonomy is guaranteed by the Constitution. Yet, most welfare schemes are regulated by acts of the Parliament. This contribution analyses the Danish set up and discusses the extent of decentralisation in the area of social security and health care, focusing on the criteria for the allocation of competences, financial arrangements and the issue of equality of treatment across the country.

Abstract:

The article demonstrates the role price regulation plays in local networked public services mainly focusing on the sector of public water utility services, but also touching on public waste management services. It investigates how and on what grounds these originally local public services became national public services. The article points out that centralisation of regulation, and in particular of price regulation without a simultaneous, well-considered opening of market cannot be effective, neither does it support the objectives of the Water Framework Directive.

Abstract: This article examines the local effects of papal centralisation of ecclesiastical administration in the first half of the fourteenth century. It traces as a case study the impact on English monastic communities of papal privileges and exemptions, papal attempts to regulate religious observance, the expansion of the papal judicial system, and the growth of papal appointments of heads of houses. It concludes that the reality differed from the high theory of papalist claims to immediate and universal jurisdiction. Papal power ultimately depended on the consent of local actors and an inc

Abstract:

The Intergovernmental Fiscal Transfer (IGFT) is a crucial tool for local governments (LGs) to bridge fiscal disparities by providing the necessary funds to fulfil their functional responsibilities. In the context of federal Nepal, IGFT has been classified into four types: fiscal equalisation, conditional, special and matching grants. This research is an attempt to examine the effectiveness of these transfer types in enhancing the local governments’ accountability in Nepal. Through a combination of quantitative and qualitative data types, this study collected primary and secondary data from sev

Abstract:

The integration of welfare services in activation policies has been one of the common answers to welfare challenges in EU member states over the last two decades. The process has been interwoven with the rescaling both downwards and upwards of welfare regulative authorities. The article discusses the role of integrated services in activation policies in relation to the centralisation and decentralisation of welfare policies in a comparative perspective of different EU welfare regimes and highlights the role of local institutional milieus in shaping path-dependent modes of governance in integra

Abstract:

The Covid-19 pandemic constituted an unprecedented public health crisis for the National Health Service (NHS) since its inception in 1948. The crisis exposed the fragmented nature of health services, the centralisation of decision-making, and the weakened position of the Director of Public Health (DPH) to provide essential local leadership. This position reflects years of uncertainty along with a pyrrhic ‘return’ to local government for public health in 2013. Using the career of Westmorland County Medical Officer (CMO) John A. Guy, this paper offers a historical examination of the problems of

Abstract:

This article aims to understand how new accountability instruments in the context of the French-speaking Belgian educational system are appropriated by schools. After having characterised the specific nature of those instruments in the context of a traditionally highly decentralised system involved in a significant process of centralisation, we identify their effects through the case study of three schools. Using a new institutionalist lens, the analyses show that these instruments refer, in the French-speaking Belgian context, to a specific demand from the political environment of schools: de

AbstractThis article charts the long-term development of seigneurial governance within the principality of Guelders in the Low Countries. Proceeding from four quantitative cross-sections (c. 1325, 1475, 1540, 1570) of seigneurial lordships, the conclusion is that seigneurial governance remained stable in late medieval Guelders. The central argument is that this persistence of seigneurial governance was an effect of active collaboration between princely administrations, lords, and local communities. Together, the princely government and seigneuries of Guelders formed an integrated, yet polycent

Abstract:

Following recent changes to Jobcentre Plus – in particular with its telephone claims line and centralisation of the Social Fund – there have been huge problems for claimants in making claims, in contacting offices and the delays in processing. This has been acknowledged by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), and although they now claim to be getting on top of the problem, it has been the subject of Parliamentary criticism too. This article looks at particular experiences in the former Avon area in 2006 and the local attempts to resolve, or at least improve, the situation.

Abstract:

Police accountability in Scotland is examined in two aspects. First, the changing constitutional arrangements in Scotland are explored in terms of the tripartite system; local government reform, devolution, the Scottish Parliament and the new Justice Ministry. Comparisons are also made between the policing systems in Scotland and England and Wales, with respect to the police reforms of the 1990s. It is argued that recent constitutional change and central government policies have significantly increased centralisation of the policing function in Scotland by non-statutory means.
