Federalization

Federalization is the process of a region or smaller political unit becoming part of a larger, unified country with a shared central government. It involves transferring certain powers and responsibilities from local or regional authorities to the national government, while still allowing regions to maintain some local governance. This setup aims to balance local autonomy with national unity, enabling regions to address their specific needs within the framework of the larger country. Federalization is often used to manage diversity, prevent conflict, or streamline governance across multiple areas under a common legal and political system.
