Book Description
Today, in the conditions of transformation of public consciousness, which is the source and driving force of changes in our society, it is the person with his needs and interests who is at the center of these changes and determines the vector of society as a whole. In the context of decentralization of power, which implies more rights and, consequently, responsibilities to local communities, their effective management requires well-considered and sound decisions. The study of the state of rural development confirms the fact that only the integrated development of regions, including communities, ensure their stability and the most efficient use of resource potential. Well-considered decisions of community leaders will promote the development of entrepreneurship in the regions and the state as a whole. Balanced tax and credit policies will provide favorable conditions for the development of small and medium-sized businesses, which involve a significant part of the state's citizens. In the future, the success of administrative reform will be determined by the extent to which local governments can effectively use the community's resource potential through a favorable local business environment, attract investment in regional development, create new jobs and develop infrastructure. Therefore, the decisions made by local governments today must be adaptive and timely, and must be based on the basic provisions of the strategy of community development and the region as a whole, be comprehensive and systematic. However, subjectivity and incompetence in decision-making by representatives of different levels of government an active demotivator for entrepreneurship, as it inhibits its development and the development of communities, respectively. Such domestic scientists as Andriychuk V., Zabolotny G., Zakharchenko V., Kaletnik G., Kubay O., Mazur A., Mesel-Veselyak V., Shinkovych A., Sabluk P. and others, determined the prerequisites for creating highly effective territorial communities. 4 Theoretical developments and practical recommendations of these scientists were reflected in scientific works and directly in the implementation of administrative reform in our country. Scientists have created basic approaches to creating highly effective communities and their further development. However, the novelty of the issue, the lack of practical experience of local government leadership in the effective management of newly created communities and the new challenges of today, require further research on this issue. In order to increase the effectiveness of decisions at the level of territorial communities need further development and scientific substantiation of scientific and practical principles of development of territorial communities in the context of decentralization of power. According to the authors under these conditions, special attention should be paid to: the key factors that influence effective management decisions; features of building a rational organizational structure of local government; prerequisites for rational use of community resource potential; energy and food security issues, etc. This determines the relevance of this research. The results of the presented research in the monograph are made within the initiative of the Department of Administrative Management and Alternative Energy Sources of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University "Ensuring the development of territorial communities in terms of local government reform" state registration number: 0122U002096. for 2022-2024.

Decentralization Policies in Asian Development
Author: Shinichi Ichimura
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9812818642
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
This book explores the important topic of fiscal decentralization in Asian countries, and focuses on how government finance and administration are being reformed to bring budgetary decisions closer to voters. The focus on Asia is especially important because all countries in this region have been undergoing serious fiscal reforms in the past decade. They include one of the biggest decentralization reforms in Indonesia, significant reforms in democratic Philippines and Vietnam which are in transition, and Japan, whose fiscal reconstruction program is covered extensively. India and China, which are also covered, are very special cases because of their size and because their policies must fit decentralization into a significant economic growth scenario.

Economic Inequality – Trends, Traps and Trade-offs
Author: Medani P. Bhandari
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000796701
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
The book “Economic Inequality – Trends, Traps and Trade-offs” presents the unexplored issues of economic inequality, including case studies of various countries. Inequality is a chronic divisive factor of society. It is well known that inequalities (such as economic, social, cultural, religious, geographical, etc.) have been omnipresent in human society. Inequalities can be found within each family, each community, and each nation and thus globally. Inequality is a major cause of political, economic, social instability, and creates crisis and conflict within society. A major cause of inequality is unequal, uneven, biased, power centric distributions of human economic, social, political, cultural and spiritual human necessities.The edited book examines the major parameters of the socio-economic issues of inequality and focuses on the key economic issues of inequality, namely, income and wealth distribution, equity & equality of outcome, and equality of opportunities. Economic inequality is measured by wealth, income dsiproportions in distribution and consumption patterns in a specific area. Mostly, inequality is measured using various statistical tools including the Gini Coefficient, inequality adjusted human development index, 20:20 ratio, Palma ratio, Hoover index, Galt score, Coefficient of variation, Theil index, wage share etc. However, not all income can be measured by these tools. By using case studies, this book encourages us to reframe economic development through the lens of growing inequalities and disparities. Economic growth per se is disproportional, and the efforts of scholars, practitioners and policymakers should be directed to empower the marginalized of society in a way that ‘no one should left behind’ (UN Slogan).

Barrio Democracy in Latin America
Author: Eduardo Canel
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271037334
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
The transition to democracy underway in Latin America since the 1980s has recently witnessed a resurgence of interest in experimenting with new forms of local governance emphasizing more participation by ordinary citizens. The hope is both to foster the spread of democracy and to improve equity in the distribution of resources. While participatory budgeting has been a favorite topic of many scholars studying this new phenomenon, there are many other types of ongoing experiments. In Barrio Democracy in Latin America, Eduardo Canel focuses our attention on the innovative participatory programs launched by the leftist government in Montevideo, Uruguay, in the early 1990s. Based on his extensive ethnographic fieldwork, Canel examines how local activists in three low-income neighborhoods in that city dealt with the opportunities and challenges of implementing democratic practices and building better relationships with sympathetic city officials.

The Political Economy of Democratic Decentralization
Author: James Manor
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Nearly all countries worldwide are now experimenting with decentralization. Their motivation are diverse. Many countries are decentralizing because they believe this can help stimulate economic growth or reduce rural poverty, goals central government interventions have failed to achieve. Some countries see it as a way to strengthen civil society and deepen democracy. Some perceive it as a way to off-load expensive responsibilities onto lower level governments. Thus, decentralization is seen as a solution to many different kinds of problems. This report examines the origins and implications decentralization from a political economy perspective, with a focus on its promise and limitations. It explores why countries have often chosen not to decentralize, even when evidence suggests that doing so would be in the interests of the government. It seeks to explain why since the early 1980s many countries have undertaken some form of decentralization. This report also evaluates the evidence to understand where decentralization has considerable promise and where it does not. It identifies conditions needed for decentralization to succeed. It identifies the ways in which decentralization can promote rural development. And it names the goals which decentralization will probably not help achieve.

National Security Drivers of Ukraine
Author: Oleksandr Radchenko
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031337247
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
This volume presents the key informational, communication, and socio-political drivers of the Ukrainian state's national security. Since the beginning of the third millennium, there has been an aggravation of global inter-civilizational confrontations, which in 2022 has already resulted in an open military aggression against Ukraine. The hybrid wars against the world of democracy have put ensuring the national security of states on the front pages of world and national agendas. Using the example of Ukraine, the book demonstrates how, in order to achieve their geopolitical interests, authoritarian regimes incite information wars as a prerequisite for the transition to an armed "hot" war. It further shows how these processes actualize the formation of a fundamentally new state policy to ensure information and, more broadly, national security. The book identifies the main threats to national security in modern states and identifies ways of protecting Ukraine's national interests. The book will appeal to scholars, students, and researchers of political science, international relations, social sciences, and neighboring disciplines, as well as practitioners and policy-makers interested in a better understanding of national security drivers and protecting national interests.

Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821377353
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
'Decentralization and Local Democracy in the World' constitutes a global reference on decentralization by presenting the contemporary situation of local governments in all regions of the world. The report analyzes local authorities in each continent under three main themes: the evolution of territorial structures; responsibilities and power, management and finances; and local democracy. An additional chapter is dedicated to the governance of large metropolises, where rapid growth presents major challenges, in particular in the fast-developing countries of the South. This report also offers a comparative overview of the different realities concerning the state of decentralization, and how the basic indispensable mechansims for local democracy do, or do not exist in come countries. Relationships between the state and local authorities are evolving toward innovative forms of cooperation. In this context, the role of local authorities in the development of global policies is increasingly recognized. The first Global Observatory on Local Democracy and Decentralization (GOLD) Report is one of the main products of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG). The GOLD Report is the first of what will be a triennial publication. UCLG represents and defends the interests of local governments on the world stage, regardless of the size of the communities they serve. Headquartered in Barcelona, the organization's stated mission is: To be the united voice and world advocate of democratic local self-government, promoting its values, objectives and interests, through cooperation between local governments, and within the wider international community.
