How effective is Russion Federalism?

The essay explores the increasing trend of federalism and regionalism in global politics, highlighting its significance in organizing states. It discusses the European Union's commitment to empowering regions within member states, advocating for governance at the most localized level. The author notes a shift in traditionally unitary states, such as Britain, towards allowing regional parliaments. This evolution suggests a diminishing effectiveness of central governments in addressing regional issues, as many now view local governance as a more suitable approach for resolving specific problems.
