Unitary form of the state structure: concept and main features

Abstract

This article is devoted to the theoretical and legal analysis of various approaches to the definition of the unitary form of government and its main features. The study of unitary states is very relevant, this is primarily due to the fact that most states in the world are similar in terms of the form of government, but at the same time they differ greatly from each other. In addition, the study of unitary states is interesting in the context of the trend of regionalization processes taking place in various countries of the world. The study of the unitary form of government is of particular importance today, since it is determined by national, state-territorial factors, as well as specific socio-cultural conditions in different regions of the world. The article characterizes approaches to the definition of the concept of a unitary state by the criterion of inclusion in its composition (structure) autonomy. Common features characterizing unitary states are revealed. It contains general features that characterize unitary states. In conclusion, a definition is formulated, a definition of unitary states is formulated and a conclusion is made about the structure of unitary states.
