Federalism, From Recognition to Implementation (Part 5)
Expansion of federalism in the Asian continent
In the last half of the 20th century, quasi-federal organizations were established in the Asian continent, and some countries of this continent gradually accepted this system.

Definition of important terms that exist in the Federal system
After getting acquainted with the historical background of federalism, it is now necessary to open the discussion and analyze it from the perspective of terms.
Dr. Maha Bastami says: Countless scientific discussions have been held about the definition of Federalism terms. We can summarize all these discussions in the fact that there are three types of terms in the discussion of federalism:
1. The first term: Federal political organizations.
2. The second term: Federal Unions.
3. The third term: Federalism.
These three terms are standard and include all government systems that have different levels. In general, federalism means: The stability of unity and solidarity between the people and the government, not focusing on a particular point for a party or group and maintaining both of them at the same time.”
