The decentralization of power in Ukraine, together with its impact on the efficiency of public authority and strengthening of democracy, is considered through a prism of theoretical concepts, dealing with the variety of types and major decentralization models, coupled with the corresponding advantages and risks. Research Design & Methods: The analysis covers the research and theoretical concepts, offering their own approach to decentralization by delegating certain public authorities to a lower level. It also considers the experience of other international countries to pass the decentralization process; the tools and risks that may be associated with the decentralization process; and the achievements and challenges of the decentralization process
