tailieunhanh - THE HUMANITARIAN IMPACT ON PALESTINIANS OF ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE WEST BANK

Looking at the political consequences of decentralization, Weingast (1995) proposes that a properly designed decentralization is one way to make government more accountable to its citizens. He uses the term “market-preserving federalism” for a fiscal decentralization that provides (1) a clearly delineated scope of governmental authority, (2) strong authority of sub-national governments in their jurisdictions, (3) centrally enforced prohibitions of barriers to trade and factor mobility, (4) hard budget constraints on revenue sharing and borrowing, (5) legal protection of the authority of sub-national government including protection from federal confiscation, and, thus, offers (6) incentives for regional governments to compete. | July 2007 United Nations - Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs OCHA Jerusalem jnunicipality THE HUMANITARIAN IMPACT ON PALESTINIANS OF ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE WEST BANK THE HUMANITARIAN IMPACT ON PALESTINIANS OF ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE WEST BANK July 2007 United Nations - Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs OCHA
