centralizing
Bringing to middle
Centralizing means gathering power, control, or resources into a single location or authority.
A government may be centralizing decision-making when it shifts responsibilities from local bodies to the national level: The company is centralizing operations at headquarters.
The word often carries connotations of consolidation and reduced autonomy at the margins.
