• W2336545793 abstract "This paper examines the impact of decentralization on political corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa. Most of the recent literature finds that decentralization reduces corruption, an outcome which is often attributed to the ability of citizens to hold local officials accountable through the democratic process. However, no studies focus on this region in particular, a gap given the prevalence of neopatrimonial politics, weak institutions, and a lack of democracy in many countries. Multiple regressions found no significant results, but indicated that decentralization might reduce corruption – albeit only slightly. Case studies of Uganda and South Africa illustrate difficulties in implementation. In Uganda, decentralization led to a decrease in corruption, because local democracy proved somewhat effective in disciplining corrupt officials. In South Africa, decentralization has increased corruption levels due to an overburdened bureaucracy and the lack of democracy at the local level. Seeing as the problems experienced by South Africa are common problems for many Sub-Saharan African countries, this paper argues that the enthusiastic embrace of decentralization by many international organizations might be somewhat overeager, and that findings on decentralization and corruption should not be generalized across contexts. I would like to express gratitude to Professor Ruhl for shepherding me through this process, and challenging me to think about African politics in a nuanced and complex way since sophomore year. Thanks also to Professor Lenoir for generously offering his crucial expertise at a short notice, Professor Tyson for four years of guidance and advice in every realm, and the Political Science faculty at Dickinson for many enlightening and challenging classes. I am indebted to Lisa-Kristin Weylandt and Nicholas Owsley, indefatigable proof-readers with an incisive attention to detail. Finally, I thank friends and family for sustenance. All remaining errors are mine." @default.
