The decentralization of governments throughout the world has brought
new prerogatives and responsibilities to subnational governments as service
providers to their local constituents. Part of a larger move toward
greater democratization of government, reliance on markets, private provision
of many activities formerly carried out by governments, and globalization
of commerce and finance, decentralization also has encompassed a
desire to use private capital markets as allocators of credit.
In developing countries the twin tasks of building more dispersed and democratic
governments and opening economies to freer markets and greater
private ownership have been attempted in tandem—and have proved a difficult
undertaking.
