Abstract:

The article represents a comprehensive comparative research on administrative reforms in the local self-government system in the Republic of Armenia (RA), European model countries and Georgia. Research shows that reforms remake the logic of local public administration and political system to serve the needs of good governance, to develop better administration. The aim of current research is to clarify the outcomes of local administrative reforms held in the RA. The research purpose is the following: reforms are often debated as either strategic steps towards improved governance and citizen participation (a gambit) or manipulative maneuvers to consolidate power (a political trick). Due to the creation of new communities and merging the previous smaller ones, the research study analyzes possible policy options in the area of local self-governance of RA. An important aspect of research here is the analysis of political impacts based on the municipal reforms and decentralization.
