Abstract

The paper confronts quantitative measures of three key aspects of decentralization studying the center – periphery relations in Russia in 1995–1999. Finds no robust correlation between different decentralization aspects; three processes of devolution seem to be driven by different forces. Hence, any specific aspect of decentralization is hardly able to serve as a proxy for the overall decentralization process.
