Description
Summary:The intellectual prestige of „decentralization” comes, mainly, from the works of Tocqueville, who conceives a sort of definition of decentralization by indicating it’s effects in USA. He determines the most important logical connections for „decentralization”, connections which nowadays are natural, i. e. with „liberty”, „good governance”, „solidarity”, „active citizenship” and „sustainable prosperity”. The author argues that descentralization is a concept with a „variable geometry”, meaning that although we have some precised determinations for decentralization (deconcentration, fiscal decentralization and devolution), it has, in terms of different possible contexts, a potential for evolution. Finally, decentralization encourages a vision of the social world in which the „experiment” is central.
