centralising Explanation: "Essay on the Tendency Towards Centralization [...] Likewise, in Australia a centralising process has been sanctioned by the High Court. [...] But the great centralising factor has been the contrast in the attitude of the people towards the central government and the governments of their states in former times and in our time." http://www.shareyouressays.com/essays/essay-on-the-tendency-... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 48 mins (2018-05-27 12:36:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think that "centralising" would fit your first example. For the second, "centralist" might be better, though I think "centralising" would work ("political projects of a centralising/centralist tendency/orientation"). There's another use of "centralitario" which might be rendered by the rare English word "centralitarian": "un poder centralitario (por cruce de centralista y totalitario)" https://ebuah.uah.es/dspace/bitstream/handle/10017/6985/lati... So there's more than one possibility, in fact. But not "centrality", because "centralitario" is an adjective. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2018-05-28 06:59:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Further to Robert's comment, this may be specifically invoking Eduardo Devés-Valdés's core-periphery theory, but even if it is, I think "centralist" or "centralising" are the words that would be used in English. "Centralitarian" doesn't seem to exist in English, in practice: there are only two or three examples on the Internet, but there are many texts in English that contrast "identitarian" with "centralist" or "centralising". I don't think it's necessary to coin a new word in English to express the idea. |
