Abstract
Decentralization is among the foremost governance-transforming policies in developed, developing and transitional economies. National governments decide to shift powers and resources to sub-national units of government for a variety of reasons, but the results are undeniably that — now more than ever before — local governments and other lower level actors are becoming engaged in the planning and implementation of economic development policies in their own territories. Nevertheless, local development remains more of a movement rather than a strict economic model defined by a prescriptive approach.
