The role and place of local democracy and decentralisation in the modernisation and consolidation of democratic processes in the Eastern Partnership countries

The objective of the study is to provide background information, as well as basic facts and figures, to support the CORLEAP co-chair rapporteur's work on the report "The role and place of local democracy and decentralisation in the modernisation and consolidation of democratic processes in the Eastern Partnership countries". Consistently, the research done provides an overview of the state of local democracy and local self-governance with a focus on decentralization, modernization and consolidation of democratic processes in six Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine.
