COMPARATIVE Federalism

Political Institutions Unitary – No constitutional separation of power between the central and regional governments IRAN= THEOCRACY – Devolution: decentralization of national/central power to local units of government, decentralization of power from the central to local units. Examples: – Scottish Parliament – National Assembly for Wales – Northern Ireland Assembly – Mayor of London

What happens in devolution? Central government can appoint a governor or establish a local legislature. The local “bureaucrat” can address local welfare and economic issues while ensuring the central government’s policies are followed. – UK counties going unitary? UK counties going unitary?

Decentralized Unitary vs. Federalism Power can be taken away or local legislature/ government can be dissolved in a unitary system (by the central government).  Subnational governments’ powers are not constitutionally protected. In a unitary system decentralization is not necessarily symmetrical, whereas it is symmetrical in a federalist system (all parts are treated equally).  Asymmetrical federalism

Why would a country devolve power? In the UK: Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland  To pacify political rivals  To prevent revolution  Domestic pressure  To increase legitimacy  To increase political participation  Policy efficiency/decrease burden of central government (such as distribution of services and tax collection)  To make democracy less remote
