This book examines whether setting up democratic local councils in four developing countries (Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Bangladesh and India) enhances the popularity, responsiveness and effectiveness of administration. The authors make an important contribution to current debates about 'good governance', asking whether the poor and disadvantaged benefit from decentralisation.
