It offers an ambiguous picture of centralisation of subnational government under that regime, somewhat softened in the late stage of its existence, followed by radical decentralisation after the 1990, and by the recent search for solutions that would overcome the negative consequences of the territorial and functional fragmentation of local government without sacrificing the achievements of local democracy.
