Building on the Handbook of Fiscal Federalism (Edward Elgar, 2006), this work addresses the question of the impact of decentralization on service delivery and poverty reduction. Ahmad (International Monetary Fund, US) and Brosio (public economics, U. of Turin, Italy) first present both policy-oriented papers that extend the literature on fiscal federalism to the evaluation of the effectives of decentralized service delivery. They then include empirical evaluations of the decentralization process around the world. The empirical papers examine the impact of decentralization in Bolivia, Uganda, Poland, and Spain and include a focus on the political economy process and the outcomes of decentralization. A final set of papers discuss pro-poor institutional design in decentralization and public service provision, fiscal policy instruments and the political economy of designing programs for the poor, and cross-country experiences with subnational insolvency and governance.
