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?

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

IrelandTo 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
