What is Localism?

Localism is the belief and practice that decision-making, governance, and economic activity should be rooted in local communities rather than centralized authorities or distant institutions. It emphasizes the value of place-based solutions, where people closest to a community’s challenges are seen as best positioned to solve them. Here are some key dimensions of localism:

Political Localism

Economic Localism

Cultural Localism
