devolusi berbeda dengan federalisme.
dalam federalisme, kekuasaan yang dilimpahkan kepada daerah hanya bersifat sementara dan pada akhirnya kekuasaan tetap berada di tangan pemerintah pusat.
badan legislatif berhak membentuk parlemen atau dewan terdevolusi, namun parlemen ini dapat dicabut atau diamendemen oleh pemerintah pusat.
devolusi ini juga berbeda dengan desentralisasi, yang pelimpahan kekuasaannya tidak terbatas, atau hanya dibatasi pada bidang-bidang tertentu saja, seperti politik, hukum, keamanan, hubungan luar negeri, dan sebagainya.
