Constitutional Impediments To Decentralization In The World's Largest Federal Country, Sharmila L. Murthy, Maya J. Mahin
Duke Journal of Comparative & International Law
Decentralization is often advocated as a means of improving local democracy and enhancing what economists call allocative efficiency. In federal countries, where power is already divided between national and state governments, decentralization involves the devolution of power from state to local governments.
