But how far has decentralization really gone in Africa? How well does it work? And what have been its consequences? The authors of Decentralization in Africa work within a common conceptual framework to examine the process in 10 countries, contrasting clear increases in the legal authority of SNGs with the reality of limited successes in deepening democracy. 606 $aDecentralization in government$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 615 0$aDecentralization in government 676 $a320.8096 700 $aDickovick$b James Tyler$f1973-$01543351 702 $aDickovick$b James Tyler$f1973- 702 $aWunsch$b James S$g(James Stevenson),$f1946- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797575503321 996 $aDecentralization in Africa$93796751 997 $aUNINA
