Regionalism - Definition and Overview

In politics, regionalisation is a process of dividing a political entity — typically a country — into smaller regions, and transferring power from the central government to the regions. Politics which favors this process is called regionalism. Opposite process is called unitarisation.

Regionalisation and unitarisation are oftenly confused with, respectively, decentralisation and centralisation.
