Alamsubühikud

Alamsubühikud are a concept primarily found in Estonian administrative law and public administration. The term literally translates to "sub-units" or "lower units." In practice, alamsubühikud refer to divisions or constituent parts within a larger public or private entity, often organized hierarchically. These can be departments, branches, or specialized sections within a ministry, municipality, agency, or even a large company. Their purpose is typically to manage specific functions, responsibilities, or geographical areas more effectively. The exact nature and powers of alamsubühikud can vary significantly depending on the parent organization and the legal framework governing it. They are generally subordinate to the main entity and operate under its overall direction and supervision. The establishment and organization of alamsubühikud are often defined by internal regulations, statutes, or specific legislation.
