Decentralisation as a Policy Process in India

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: This article argues that decentralisation in India should be seen as a policy process. It is a policy process in the sense that multiple actors, and agencies influence the decentralisation process at all levels of the polity. While this may appear obvious, regarding decentralisation as a policy process requires: a) analysis of this process not at one level or as one event, but b) as a series of public policy processes that eventually result in successful or not so successful realisation of decentralisation on the ground.
