摘要东南亚的政府安排通常是集中的，但在20世纪90年代，民主化的推动力推动该地区的国家进入领土分散的方案。对这些国家来说，这是一种全新的经验，因此必须对中央与地方的关系作出创新安排。本文探讨了三个国家（菲律宾、印度尼西亚和柬埔寨）的经验。调查结果是，虽然民主化提供了最初的动力，但每个国家选定的权力下放结构是由国内政治行为者和情况决定的。政策转移微不足道，初步迹象表明，虽然在民众参与方面取得了一些进展，但权力下放并没有导致服务提供方面的任何明显改善。此外，虽然中央政府已将权力下放给国家以下各级领土，但它们仍然通过财政和其他手段进行控制。
Abstract Government arrangements in Southeast Asia have been typically centralized but in the 1990s the impetus of democratization pushed countries of the region into programmes of territorial decentralization. This was an entirely new experience for these countries and necessitated innovative arrangements for central – local relations. This article examines the experience of three countries (the Philippines, Indonesia and Cambodia). The findings are that although democratization provided the initial impetus the selected architecture of decentralization in each country has been determined by domestic political actors and circumstances. There has been negligible policy transfer and early indications are that although there have been some gains in popular participation, decentralization has not led to any marked improvement in service delivery. Also, while central governments have delegated authority to subnational territories they still exert control through fiscal and other means.
