Devolution is a system of governing in which the central government grants some legislative and administrative responsibilities to regional bodies. Federalism is also a system of governing where power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units, but in federalism, the central government retains ultimate authority. Confederalism is a system of governing where the constituent units retain ultimate authority and only delegate limited powers to a central government. Provincialism is a narrow focus on the interests of one's own province over the interests of the country as a whole, and is not a system of governing.
