Morphology
decentralization = decentralize (transparent) = de + central + ize + ation
This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'decentralize' meaning the process of making something less centralized.
Etymology
Decentralization comes from de- meaning 'away from' and central meaning 'center' or 'main place'. So it is the process of moving power and control 'away from' the center to local offices, which is why it means giving more authority to regional branches.
