You are hearing today many outstanding analytical and technical presentations about the elements, advantages, and problems with respect to federalism and the decentralization of power. I would like to speak briefly here to some of the broader political and philosophical issues.
As you have heard this morning, a growing number of countries are moving to adopt federal systems that devolve significant governing authority down from the center to lower levels, or at least for decentralizing some significant elements of government responsibility down to local government.
I want to address three questions today. First, why are more and more countries moving to devolve and decentralize governing power? Second, what has this trend meant for the quality of democracy and governance around the world? Third, what has it meant for the ability of countries to hold together peacefully as a unified state?
