itsehallinnollisia

itsehallinnollisia is the Finnish adjective that describes something self-governing or autonomous. It is the partitive plural form of the adjective itsehallinnollinen and is used when referring to several self-governing elements or to an indefinite amount of such elements, for example itsehallinnollisia oikeuksia or itsehallinnollisia alueita. The term appears frequently in political, administrative, and legal language to denote authority or powers exercised independently within defined legal limits.

In political and administrative discourse it is used to discuss autonomous regions, municipalities with devolved competencies, or communities seeking greater self-determination. The concept fits within broader notions such as itsehallinto (self-government), autonomia (autonomy), devolution, and federalismi, and it is often contrasted with centralized or unitary governance models. In constitutional contexts, self-governance is defined by laws and agreements that specify which powers are delegated and how they are exercised.

Examples of phrases include: itsehallinnollisia oikeuksia (self-governing rights), itsehallinnollisia alueita (self-governing regions), and itsehallinnollisia valtuuksia (self-governing powers). These usages appear in policy documents, legal texts, and academic writing when describing the degree and scope of autonomy granted.
