Abstract: They analyze decentralization in different areas, naturally considering fiscal decentralization, political-administrative decentralization, judicial decentralization, and legislative decentralization. Thus, the evidence shows precisely that the current unitary system adopted by Angola tends to channel a large part of the institutions towards marked and widespread failure. On the other hand, there is institutional failure related to the shortcomings of public policies determined by the authorities, whose institutional regime is still centralized. On the other hand, these institutions tend not to guarantee, for example, greater political diversity and greater democratic plurality. Therefore, I particularly propose inclusion through decentralization by means of a federalist model, considering the transformation of the current republic into a Federation of Angolan States. Examples of countries that have adopted the federalist model show the great capacity for transformation provided by federalist decentralization. Above all, fiscal decentralization has the capacity to plausibly associate economic transformations with judicial and legislative transformations in institutions. Angola, particularly with a federalist model, could provide structural and regional balance. For example, the regions could drive sustainable regional economic development with greater rigor, while public finances could optimize fiscal policy and budgetary policy could converge with medium- and long-term objectives. Thus, through a federalist model, economic transformations tend to be inclusive, especially based on institutional dynamics and sustainable growth. The federalist model I propose takes into account the preservation of ethno-linguistic groups through geographical continuity, with the preservation of subnational units and the inclusion of a new state with the capacity to become the future federal capital of Angola.
