Autonomous Regions
Autonomous regions refers to independence on the internal or domestic level “as foreign affairs and defense normally are in the hands of the central or national government, but occasionally power to conclude international agreements concerning cultural or economic matters also may reside with the autonomous entity.
In other words, autonomous regions are internal areas of state with higher degrees of autonomy and expression compared to others due to their geographical or cultural distinction.
These regions are allowed to express themselves without interference of the State while simultaneously existing a part of it. Inherently, autonomous regions are a political “compromise between independence and complete integration”
