The article presents the problem of decentralization in the public sector in the context of good governance and proper architecture of the fiscal policy. We can observe discussion that has attracted attention to the growing gap between the tax systems that the policymakers of some countries might wish to have and those that global forces are forcing them to adopt. In the last decade many economies in the world have experienced currency, debt, financial and banking crises and most of the public finance had to be able to bear it by creating policy framework for reducing the moral hazard risks. (original abstract)

W artykule przedstawiono problem decentralizacji w sektorze publicznym w kontekście efektywności i skuteczności podejmowania decyzji ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem kształtu polityki fiskalnej. W ostatnich latach wiele gospodarek doświadczyło kryzysów finansowych i bankowych o różnym podłożu i nasileniu. Skutki tych kryzysów istotnie obciążyły finanse publiczne wielu państw, stąd też ogół wysiłków koncentruje się obecnie m.in. na wokół koncepcji zarządzania w finansach publicznych, które pozwoliły na ograniczanie konsekwencji zjawiska moralnego hazardu.
