Document Summary
Unitary states increasingly shifting authority downwards to sub-regional governments through development/ enhancement of regions. Establishment of political regions: regional bodies with elected regional assemblies. Administrative regions: regions tailor the implementation stage but not the policy making stage. One level of authority, can create and remove sub-central governments at their whim. Government authority rests in the national government. Government is able to create national programs without conflict. Doesn"t need to converse with sub-regional governments. When the central government wants to do something, they can. Excessive centralization often causes the inability to deal with regional difference. Doesn"t deal with local differences that may need adaptation from region to region. The ndp"s national daycare program: no negotiation with provinces. Constitutional division of power on a geographical basis between at least 2 levels of government residual powers clause. All powers that are not clearly assigned in the constitutions. If these unspecified tasks goes towards the regional it is more centralized.
