520			_aTwo variable preoccupy this entire study-decentralisation and inclusion. The book hypothesises that there is a positive relationship between decentralisation and the inclusion of the various groups; that the more we decentralise the more we include. That the converse is also true: the more we centralise the more we marginalise. What emerges clearly form the expositions in the volume are the historical struggles for decentralisation and inclusion by those on the outside, and efforts to congest more powers at the centre and to exclude the other by those on the inside. However, the clamour for decentralisation and inclusion won a major battlefront when the 2010 Constitution, which entrenches devolution as one of the overarching principles, among other transformative provisions, was promulgated. At the close of a decade after the operationalisation of devolved governments, time is ripe to evaluate the original promise of devolution to democratise and include the marginalised groups. But has devolution delivered on these fronts? This edited volumes explores this and other relevant questions after a decade of devolution's career.
