Abstract
The Regional Administrative Decentralization one of the methods the administration, which has spread in recent
decades in the world. The Regional Administrative Decentralization is a method of administrative action, which focused on
the distribution of competences of the administrative function between the central authority and the local entities. The
regional administrative decentralization leads to the application of democratic principles by enabling local people to manage
their own affairs and they participate in decision-making, in addition to allowing minorities to choose their representatives to
participate in decision-making, which helps in the unity of the country. As well as, the regional administrative
decentralization helps to reduce routine and improve the delivery of public services. However, there are several obstacles to
the implementation of administrative decentralization are the lack of experience of the local entities and the lack of financial
resources as well as accountability. In addition to the fear of division in countries that consist of multiple nationalities and
religions. Some countries such as France implemented the administrative decentralization in stages. France succeeded in
decentralization in stages since 1982, but the decentralization experiment at the beginning of the French Revolution in 1789
failed when implemented it directly. So, the researcher believes the gradual implementation the best method for getting the
advantages of the regional administrative decentralization and avoid the obstacles, for several reasons.
