Local Budgeting in the Czech and Slovak Republics

Phillip J. Bryson

Chapter Chapter 8 in The Economics of Centralism and Local Autonomy, 2010, pp 117-127 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract To understand more completely the process of fiscal decentralization in the transition countries, it is important to determine how local decisions are made and what constraints are binding upon those decisions in the process of preparing municipal budgets. Planning for effective allocation of whatever revenues cities may anticipate, whether those cities are large or small, will have common aspects. In cities where effort is being made to overcome the excessive centralization of the central planning legacy, some unique commonalities will be associated with the process. This is the case for the Czech and Slovak republics, both of which have spent a decade and a half attempting to establish anew the principles of local government autonomy.
