devolution theory

Devolution theory refers to the process by which central governments transfer power, authority, and responsibilities to lower levels of government, such as regional or local authorities. This can involve giving these entities more control over decisions related to governance, resources, and services. The aim is often to enhance democratic representation, improve efficiency, and address local needs more effectively. Devolution can lead to greater autonomy for regions or groups, allowing them to tailor policies to their specific contexts while still being part of a larger national framework.
