What is a successful example of decentralized governance?

Examples of countries that have achieved an exceptional “big bang” shift toward inclusive political and economic decentralization include:

Bolivia in 1995 and Indonesia after the collapse of Suharto in 1998

Brazil and India decentralized irregularly and more steadily.

In Pakistan, devolution epitomized a tool for power consolidation of a non-democratic national government.

In Mainland China, local governments enjoy much economic freedom but little political power.

Lastly, South Africa transitioned from the autocratic decentralization of Apartheid to decentralization under a democratic constitution.
