Division of powers OR Separation of powers
Explanation:
Parece que la primera opción sería la correcta, pero no está del todo claro, así que, por sí acaso, "Division of powers" se refiere a los diferentes niveles de gobierno en una confederación de estados, por ejemplo como Estados Unidos: es decir los gobiernos a nivel federal, estatal, y municipal, mientras "Separation of powers" se refiere a las tres ramas del gobierno: la ejecutiva, la legislativa y la judicial.
