- W339717679 abstract "Decentralization reforms are taking place in most developing nations,transforming the local institutional infrastructure upon which local forestmanagement is based. Although intended to produce institutional conditionsfor more equitable and efficient resources management, most decentralization reforms fail to establish the basic conditions that theory predictswould lead to positive outcomes. This chapter argues that the centralcondition for effective decentralization is representation. Democraticrepresentation consists of downwardly accountable and responsive localauthorities. Accountability requires that the local population can sanctionthe local authorities via various accountability mechanisms. Responsivenessrequires powers that enable these local authorities to respond to localdemands. Because of resistance by governments and poor choices by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and donors, local institutions that arenot accountable to the local populations are often being chosen for‘decentralized’ forest management. In addition, they are often given inappropriate and insufficient powers. This chapter asks which local institutions bestserve the function of representation in decentralization reforms. It alsoqueries the choice of powers being devolved to local institutions in naturalresource decentralizations. These two elements of decentralization cannot beseparated: accountability without powers is empty (there is noresponsiveness), and power without accountability is dangerous (there is nocheck on the exercise of power). The chapter concludes with questions thatcan help policy-makers, donors and researchers evaluate whetherdecentralization efforts are being legislated and implemented in a mannerthat theory indicates will result in positive outcomes." @default.
