This book attempts to understand and describe one segment of the story: welfare policy. It makes an inventory of who are the main actors, what is decentralized in the social sector (administrative, fiscal, political, service-delivery structures, and institutions), where or to what level of governance decentralization is relevant, and how and by what means is decentralization implemented in the social sector.
