Alt dette bekræfter billedet af et stærkt centralistisk system, hvor de subnationale forvaltningsniveauer er domineret af de nationale politiske partier og regeringen - hvor de finder det nødvendigt at forsvare sig selv mod disse snarere end at fremme borgemes deltagelse på græsrod-plan. Det kan derfor ikke undre, at der var stor opbakning bag en decentralisering.
These data confirm the picture of a highly centralized system in which subnational government is dominated by the national political parties and the central government and feels it necessary to defend itself against these rather than to promote grassroots participation by citizens.
