hallintajärjestykseen

Hallintajärjestykseen refers to the hierarchical structure of the Finnish administrative reform. It is a system of government where administrative tasks are divided among various authorities, with each level having specific responsibilities. The hallintajärjestykseen is a key concept in the Finnish system of governance, which became law in 1998.

At the top of the hierarchy is the national government, which is responsible for matters of national importance, such as foreign policy and defense. The next level consists of regional administration, which handles matters specific to a particular area, including regional development and transportation. The third level is the municipality, where primary responsibility lies for providing basic services to the public, such as education, healthcare, and social welfare.

Each level of the hierarchy has a specific set of powers and responsibilities, with the powers passing down through the levels for more localized authority. Coupled with this hierarchical structure are decentralized administration principles, which assign responsibilities and powers to local authorities. This unique system ensures that decision-making is carried out closest to the level it affects, thereby enabling better response to local needs.

The hallintajärjestykseen has undergone several adjustments and reforms since it was first introduced. Implementing the six-tiered structure has been a landmark reform in Finnish governance. The added organization aims to provide suitability to governance needs of all regions.
