Abstract

 The article examines «competitive strategies» of the regional authorities concerning local governments of Perm Krai when distributing inter-budget transfers. The study is based on the data of distribution of some inter-budget transfers among the municipalities in 2007-2013 and a series of interviews with regional and local officials. The competitive strategies are implemented through the formal rules determined by the regional authorities, and also with the use of informal practices. They are in demand by both poor and wealthy municipalities, however the latter have higher chances to win. Nevertheless, poor municipalities find ways to solve problems by means of personal contact and arrangementsDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17072/2218-1067-2015-4-66-80
