Abstract
The article provides a comparative legal analysis of the process of decentralization of the public administration system in unitary and federal states and also reveals its role in increasing the efficiency of local government authorities. The concepts of a unitary and federal state are revealed, as well as the relationship between central government bodies and local executive authorities, taking into account the administrative-territorial division of the state. The development of the institution of decentralization in Anglo-Saxon and continental systems of law is analyzed. The economic and social factors that influence the effectiveness of decentralization of the public administration system in unitary and federal states are revealed. The principles of decentralization of the public administration system and the prerequisites and reasons for the transfer of powers to local government bodies are analyzed, taking into account the unitary and federal administrative-territorial divisions. The development of the institution of decentralization in countries such as France, Japan, Italy, the USA, Canada, and Germany is regulated in detail.
