| description |
The book assesses the current state of
Russia's regional and local fiscal relations, and
self-government, and analyzes the related reforms undertaken
over the past decade. The analysis is based on the kind of
first-hand experience and in-depth knowledge of Russian
intergovernmental reforms that only a handful of Western
scholars possess. This book complements the earlier World
Bank Institute (WBI) title Russia's Transition to a New
Federalism (2001), reflecting the shift in Russia's
policy reform agenda, from an emphasis on federal and
regional relations, to the regional and local levels. The
study uses a framework that integrates all the building
blocks of federalism: size and structure of jurisdictions,
expenditures, revenues, transfers, and borrowing. It offers
reform options based on international practices and
normative principles, while also identifying some dangers
that may arise in implementing the next round of proposed
intergovernmental reforms in Russia. The book was prepared
as part of the WBI's program to train central and local
government officials to carry out intergovernmental reforms,
and to build a core group of local trainers who can deliver
future programs independently. The current approach of the
federal government toward regional-local relations presents
a mix of rigid norms and loose guidelines. The Constitution
gives the federal and regional government joint
responsibility for the implementation of the citizens'
right to local self-government. This has enabled the federal
government to pass a number of constitutional laws that
develop the framework for local governance. Regional
governments were supposed to establish the system of local
self-government on their territory in accordance with
federal legislation, by passing regional legislation that
would further elaborate the regional-local government
arrangements. However, in areas where regional governments
had some degree of policy freedom, often many did not have
the required technical expertise to make their own informed
policy choices. The easiest solution for defining
regional-local relations seems to have been to copy the
federal approach to federal-regional relations, and apply it
at the regional-local level. |
