lähipoliittinen

The Finnish term "lähipoliittinen" translates to "domestic political" or "internal political" in English. It refers to matters, discussions, or activities that are concerned with the internal affairs of a country rather than its international relations. This encompasses a wide range of issues, including government policy, legislation, elections, party politics, and public administration within a nation's borders.

When something is described as lähipoliittinen, it signifies that its focus is on the domestic landscape. For example, a debate about tax reform or a new social welfare program would be considered lähipoliittinen issues. Similarly, the internal workings of a political party, such as leadership contests or policy development, fall under this category. The term emphasizes that the subject matter is relevant to the citizens and political system of a specific country, distinct from foreign policy or international diplomacy. It highlights the domestic dimension of political activity and decision-making.
