AP Comparative Government
Unit 1 – Political Systems and Government Types
Topic 1.7
What is a benefit of a unitary system?
Flexibility - Different regions can have different approaches to issues, allowing for the flexibility of different policies to be applied to distinct regions.
Efficiency - Unitary governments exhibit more efficiency since there are not many levels of government to go through when it comes to decision-making and the adoption of policies.
Decentralization - Decentralization from the federal government
Shared Governance - Shared governance between regional and local governments can help to balance the different interests of the regions and promote harmony between them.
