Centralized Power

Centralized power refers to a governance structure where decision-making authority and control are concentrated in a single central entity, such as a government or organization. This means that a small group of leaders or officials make important choices for the larger group, often leading to uniform policies and regulations. While centralized power can streamline decision-making and maintain order, it may also reduce individual input and limit local autonomy. Examples include a national government overseeing regional matters or a corporation where top executives define company policies for all employees.
