Therefore, one of the quantifiable results for the process of decentralization would be the constant support for the process with the change of the generations of politicians.
Another quantifiable result would be the level of participatory presence at the polls. More precisely, the process of decentralization brings the actual issue of politics closer to the electorate and therefore easier to influence. Regardless of whether the political process can be influenced at the local level or not, there should be an increased participation in elections whether they are local or state elections. This would prove a much bigger interest in the political process particularly as a result of decentralization because the electorate becomes aware of the possibility it has to change one bill or a law which affects directly one region.
Another result which can be measured is the performance of the local administration. Indeed, it is difficult to make such an assessment after a short period of time. Still, as decentralization implies the collection of local taxes and revenues, when the figures of the collection process increase, it can be as a result of the increased performance of the local apparatus of tax collection.
Concluding,...
It is very rarely a modus operandi. Also, the elements needed for the decentralization refer to the actual issues to be dealt with and vary from state to state. The challenges facing the process of decentralization refer to the environment, to the administration, to the political life, and also to the tradition of the respective state. Finally, in terms of results, these are varied and can be quantified only after the decentralized process has been a modus operandi in the country.

A micro considers the interests and rights of the individual company as the primary concern. Both of these views are valid depending on the lens that one wishes to use.

EPA Profile Environmental Protection Agency The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the main government agency tasked with monitoring the nation's environmental concerns. Because they are charged with protecting the United States environment, perhaps no government agency has a wider or more diverse mandate.

Local Government Around the world, different nations, which are enclosed by their own geographical boundaries, adhere to various different styles of government.
