State centralization

State centralization refers to the process where a country's government consolidates authority and decision-making power into a central governing body, reducing the power of regional or local authorities. This means that national institutions control policies, resources, and administration across the entire country, rather than allowing local regions to operate independently. Centralization can streamline governance, ensure uniform policies, and improve coordination, but may also limit local autonomy. Overall, it involves strengthening the role of the central government to manage policies and resources uniformly across the nation.
