metadata.value: This paper considers a society as a whole people’s life within the space where a certain sovereign
  power functions — i.e., within a social organism, which substantially supplies the system
  of needs of the persons present in it. For example, a society is the totality of human activity
  processes within the state borders of the modern Russian Federation. All human activity
  processes within the borders of the kapauku chieftainship of Papuans in New Guinea, which
  includes several villages, is a society too. The paper demonstrates that giving the definition of
  political and legal centralization and decentralization in society is impossible without providing
  definitions of centre and periphery. It is explained by the fact that the mentioned processes
  are the transfer of political powers to the centre from the periphery and vice versa. These
  powers are included in the terms of reference or competence of the state apparatus in a stateorganized
  society or in the terms of reference or competence of the system of governing bodies
  of a pre-state politically organized society as a whole. On the basis of analysis and critiques
  of the existing ideas within its topic, the paper concludes that for the discussed processes the
  centre is either a system of governing organs of this society as a whole or several or even one of
  these organs. The periphery is either the rest of the governing organs of the society as a whole
  or this whole society excluding the above-mentioned system. The usage of such definitions of
  centre and periphery for political and legal centralization and decentralization in society is a
  desirable condition to achieve effectiveness of these processes. The usage of other definitions
  of centre and periphery leads to the deformation of the true understanding of the mentioned
  processes in society. As a result, it becomes difficult to achieve effectiveness of governing.
