Academic Scientific JournalsReforming the Institute of Local Government: Current Polish and Ukrainian Cases
Keywords:
Decentralisation, Reform, Local Self-Government, Voluntary Territorial Communities’ Integration, Political WillAbstract
The process of decentralisation and reform of local government in contemporary Ukraine are explored on the basis of Polish experience, from the introduction of local government institutions in the political practice of Poland and Ukraine to the present day. The aim of the article is to identify problems, unresolved issues, possible risks and prospects for further decentralisation and local government reform in Ukraine, taking into account the Polish experience. Such methods as dialectical, historical, systemic, functional, formal-legal, comparative and predictive are used to prove that these countries had roughly the same political and administrative-territorial conditions at the start of reforms but have achieved different results and now meet new specific challenges forcing each country to use the political will of all citizens to continue reforms.
