¿Qué es el CENTRALISMO?
Centralism: A Political and Territorial Organization
Understanding Centralism
- Centralism is defined as a form of government characterized by a political and territorial organization where a primary entity holds most, if not all, powers of the state.
- In centralism, decisions affecting the nation are predominantly made in one city or capital, diminishing the influence or power of other cities.
- There are two types of centralism:
- Pure Centralism: Advocates for complete political, territorial, and administrative unity with a single governing body making all national decisions.
- Decentralized Centralism: Allows some functions to be delegated to other bodies while still being accountable to the central authority.
Historical Context and Examples
- Centralism has a significant historical presence in various powerful nations; for instance, France exemplifies this governance model.
