erritorial reforms are the most radical and contested reor
g
anization of the sub national
a
dministration. The academic interest for this phenomenon is substantial. However, a
cleavage divides the literature dealing with the issue:
I
n a fi rst strand, economists provide
p
rimarily quantitative ex-post analysis o
f
such re
f
orm ventures.
A
s a ma er o
f
research design
a
nd method applied, this work more than o en focuses on selected fi nancial aspects as reform
outputs. Mostly, a narrow focus on economies of scale is chosen, defi ned as budget cuts or
tax reductions. From an economist’s perspective, spending per capita (in total or in certain
p
olicy fi elds) seems probably the most salient variable to look at.

dministrative ‘boots on the ground’ this perspective is secondary. Questions of availability
a
nd quality of services can easily mobilize considerable shares of a population – the outlook
for a smallish tax reduction will not. While the overall fi ndin
g
s in this cost-centered debate are
s
till inconclusive a predominantly critical connotation characterizes many of these economies
of scale-centered publications

r
ecently politicians and economists have o en talked about
s
tructural reforms as the path toward sustainable economic growth.
T
he implementation o
f
the Competition Policy and Law is the most e
ff
ective and less costly
r
eform because its daily consistent implementation leads to direct benefi ts for businesses
a
nd citizens. The direct outcome of the implementation of this reform is increased market
a
wareness, which, in turn, leads to increased effi ciency in resource use by the society. The
E
uropean
U
nion has established, in the framework of
E
nlargement and the Public
I
nternal
Financial Control concept (P
I
FC), a set of principles in relation to sound fi nancial management
of public resources, resulting from both national and international fi nancing. This set of
p
rinciples is suggested to be followed and adhered to by the Republic of
A
lbania in their
r
elevant legislation and implementation.
