Devolved Governance

Devolved governance refers to the transfer of power from a central government to regional or local governments. This system allows these smaller governing bodies to make decisions on specific issues, such as education, health care, and transportation, tailored to the needs of their communities. Devolution enables regions to have more control over their affairs, fostering greater accountability and responsiveness. Examples include the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Senedd, which have authority over various policy areas while still being part of a larger national framework. It balances the need for local representation with national interests.
