Constitutional approaches to decentralization: elements, challenges and implications

The fourth annual Women Constitution-Makers’ Dialogue event was hosted at the University of Edinburgh in October 2022.

Abstract

Discussions explored experiences in the negotiation, design and implementation of decentralization schemes at the country level, with a primary focus on states in which decentralization is linked to democratic and/or conflict transitions. This report provides key findings and a summary of discussions that took place.

This is an output of the Peace and Conflict Resolution Evidence Platform (PEACEREP) programme.
