Principle of subsidiarity
(Redirected from Subsidiarity)
Subsidiarity is a principle of social organization that issues should be dealt with at the most immediate / local level that can resolve them. Common examples in Europe and the US are enshrined in law.
Within wiki movements, variations on this have focused on federation (fedwiki, wikimedia language-projects) and explicit subsidiarity (discussions about wikimedia governance, software development, fundraising, and hubs generally).
