Abstract
Why aren't decentralization policies effective in mobilizing and channelling popular participation in development planning?The contributors to this volume provide specific insights into how various systems in Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and in particular Zimbabwe work in paractice. The description and analysis provide a frame of reference for understanding and interpreting the workings of decentralization policy - including its persisting difficulties in integrating popular participation into the planning process. Planners, researchers and administrators working to develop, analyse or administer decentralization and popular paricipation policies in the Third World can use the case studies and cross-country analysis provided here to broaden their understanding of the dynamic relationships played out in implementation.As the first detailed analysis of decentralized development planning and popular participation in post-colonial Zimbabwe, the volume contributes to the understanding of such efforts in Zimbabwe and in the region as a whole.
