Neofederalism is a political framework that emphasizes the distribution of power between national and subnational governments, promoting greater autonomy for states or regions. It seeks to balance federal authority with local governance, allowing for tailored policies that better address regional needs. This approach often arises in response to the complexities of globalization and the desire for more responsive governance. By fostering collaboration and competition among different levels of government, neofederalism aims to enhance efficiency and innovation in public policy.
