Outline of Final Research Achievements	Why do central governments enact reforms that weaken their own power, i.e. pursue political decentralization, and devolve authority and finances to local governments? Under what conditions do they promote decentralization? How is the timing and speed of the decentralization decided? The aim of this research is to solve the conditions and causal relationships of decentralization.
