Intergovernmental supervision is an administrative process in which the central or regional government monitors the local policy process and intervenes to correct local decisions in appropriate circumstances, on the strength of a statutory authority to do so. The legal entitlement may take various forms, e.g. required approval of local policy decisions or the authority to issue binding directions. Although the kind of supervision one finds in Dutch intergovernmental relations is historically rooted in the French system of "tutelage", it never has come to be as ubiquitous an instrument of centralized power as in France. Almost all presentday provisions for supervision are related to specific types of local decisions, while the exercise of supervisory authority is subject to various legal constraints.
