Sažetak
This paper explores the building of administrative and democratic institutions of local government in newly emerging democracies in parts of the former Soviet Union and its satellite states in Eastern Europe. It covers the period through 2005. It studies the main objectives and achievements of the various reforms aimed at local government systems in Russia, Poland and Romania. The overall findings in the several countries are all but homogeneous and unidirectional: though democratization and decentralization are claimed by many central governments as non-negotiable, the analysis clearly demonstrates how their actual policies are implemented over time and across nations in an often inconsistent manner.
