Abstract (2. Language): 
Every state in the world has an administrative organization divided as central government (administration) and local government. According to the administrative and political history, geography, demographic structure and other similar factors, the countries either pay more attention to local governments or central government. Actually, they are complementary of each other. The relationship between local governments/administrations and democracy is interpreted differently by different philosophers, academicians and politicians. There are wide range of thoughts including views about this particular discussion. Firstly, some academicians claim that local administrations are against the idea and practice of democracy. The second type of view believes that local administrations are a necessity of democracy and they are indispensible pairs. And the third group of view claims that there is not any cause and effect relationship between the local governments and democracy. This article will examine the first view about this opposite ideas.
