Abstract
The issues, related to the influence of administrative decentralization on the ef f iciency of pu bl ic ad m i n istr ation, t he qu al ity of publ ic s er v ice s’ del iver y and the efficiency of budget expenditures still stay at the centre of attention in the international theoretical and empirical studies. Foreign studies reveal positive i mpact of the decentral i zation over t he gover nance ef fectiveness and a s well highlight the risks, related to the delegating of powers to the subnational and local levels. This article, basing on the review of international literature and empirical studies, identifies the advantages and risks of administrative decentralization. These conclusions should be taken into account for the elaboration of the proposals for the further decentralization of powers in the Russian context.
