The unitary form of the administrative-territorial structure of European states: problems and prospects at the present stage
Abstract
The article provides a comprehensive analysis of unitarianism as the main form of the territorial and political structure of modern states. The author investigates the experience of European unitarianism and demonstrates exactly what features distinguish Spain, Bulgaria, Italy, etc. from the total number of unitary states in Europe.
At the same time, an important place is given in the article to the study of the problems of regionalism, especially in its comparison with the federalization and decentralization of modern European states.
In conclusion, the author’s trajectories of the evolution of the unitary form of territorial-political structure are proposed.
