Abstract

The dynamics of the implementation process of devolution reforms differ significantly from country to country. Part of the explanation for this lies in the differences in the politico-administrative system and the status of public management reforms. Factors affecting devolution are examined in this article. Implications for policy-makers and public managers, especially regarding the policy transfer of devolution reforms, are discussed.
