Paper Summary

The article discusses how local governments in post-Soviet Ukraine balance autonomy and central control in small-enterprise privatization. Despite central government targets, local elections have empowered groups with differing interests, leading to limited central influence. Changes in the finance system aim to increase central authority over local decision-making.
