Description
Summary:The article is aimed at researching and analyzing the process of decentralization and deconcentration of the European countries’ authorities, determining the efficient possible directions of its application in Ukraine. The results of implementation of the reform of administrative-territorial structure in Ukraine were analyzed. The dynamics of formation of new joint territorial communities and filling of local budgets at the expense of own proceeds were considered. The relevance of the experience of European countries, which provides for two stages of decentralization, is substantiated. They are based, firstly, on the transfer of all powers in the sphere of budget services to local governments; secondly, on ensuring the financial independence of local authorities. Improvement of the managerial decision-making process at different levels of government should be carried out primarily through consultations with the civil society institutions.
