  Unitary authority - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
A unitary authority is a type of local authority, which has a single-tier and is responsible for all local government functions within its area.
Typically unitary authorities cover large towns or cities, which are large enough to be independent of county or regional administration.
In New Zealand a unitary authority is a territorial authority (district or city) which also performs the functions of a regional council.

 Unitary state
While some unitary states are governed as one unit (for example, the Republic of Ireland), others do provide for sub-parliaments or regional assemblies.
A system of government in which sub-government units or regional parliaments have been created but exist purely in statute or ordinary law rather than constitutional law and can be abolished or have their functions broadened or narrowed by decision of the central parliament, is known as devolution.
The United Kingdom is a particularly striking example of a unitary state with a series of parliament-created devolved assemblies, for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, all of which were created in the 1990s.

Common in the United Kingdom, the authority provides a single-tier (unitary) administration, amalgamating the former two-tier arrangement of separate county and district councils.

Unitary authorities were established in the United Kingdom following a review of local government in 1993-1994.

 Unitary Executive Theory - A Recipe For Dictatorship
The "Unitary Executive" theory is really just another name for the ancient "King With Advisors" form of government, widely used around the world for thousands of years in human history.
This was a major break from the Unitary Executive theory, in that the authority of the Unitary Executive (the King) had been severely limited by those beneath him in authority.
An even greater break from the Unitary Executive theory occurred in 1776 when the English colonies in America declared their complete independence from the King and established their own form of self-government under a written Constitution.

 Unitary Urbanism
Such is the case with the origins of unitary urbanism (UU), intuited as early as 1953 and first named as such at the end of 1956 in a tract distributed on the occasion of a demonstration by our Italian comrades in Turin.
Unitary urbanism is one of the central concerns of the SI and, despite any delays and difficulties that might arise in its application, it is entirely correct (as the opening report of the Munich conference confirms) that unitary urbanism has already begun at the moment that it appears as a program of research and development.
The functionalists, who are the expression of the technological utilitarianism of the era, cannot successfully build a single church if one considers that the cathedral was once the unitary accomplishment of a society that one has to call primitive, given that it was much further embedded than we are in the miserable prehistory of humanity.

 Legislative Backgrounder: What's at stake with unitary thrifts
Unitary thrift holding companies are corporations - financial or nonfinancial in nature - that own a single savings bank or savings association (or a portion of one, in many cases).
Unitary thrifts represent the main avenue for commercial companies into banking services, though many firms offer lending and related services without owning a bank or a thrift.
Centralized, public information on their nonbanking activities is often sketchy, however, OTS pointed out in a spring 1997 background paper that the range of unitary thrift holding companies includes those that concentrate on their thrift, diversified multi-billion dollar parents, and numerous mid-sized companies that engage in a few select activities.

The unitary executive thesis rests upon the “Oath” and the “Take Care” clauses of Article II of the Constitution.
To the unitary executive thesis, since the president is the only nationally elected political figure, he is accountable for the way in which policies are made, and thus he should be given control to insure all policies conform to the wishes of his national constituency.
The implication for allowing the unitary executive thesis to advance unfettered is that it tilts the constitutional system in favor of the president.

 SSRN-The Unitary Executive and State Administration of Federal Law by Evan Caminker
Several scholars have recently rearticulated the "unitary executive theory" of Article II, arguing that Article II vests the power to execute federal law solely in the President of the United States.
On the surface, this unitary executive theory appears to be implicated when Congress conscripts or even authorizes state officials to implement federal programs.
Thus, principles of separation of powers, in addition to principles of federalism, govern the validity of state administration of federal law. In this symposium contribution, I assume the validity of the unitary executive theory and explore some of its separation of powers implications for the commandeering debate.

 The Raw Story | Scholar says Bush has used obscure doctrine to extend power 95 times
The President announced in these signings that he would construe provisions in a manner consistent with his "constitutional authority to supervise the unitary executive branch." While the President clearly has the authority to supervise the executive branch, it is unclear how far he might construe this authority under the unitary executive theory.
The unitary executive doctrine, in its mildest form, claims only that the President has the power to appoint, control, and remove executive officers, as well as the duty to interpret the law as it applies to his office.
But unitary executive theoreticians claim that judicial supremacy over interpretation of the laws is not and never has been exclusive.
