peer agreement (net): +3administrative structure of the state / internal administration of the state Explanation: Or maybe "administrative organization of the state". This is for the whole phrase including "administración". It's a constitutional term, and I think that's what they're referring to. Chapter XIV of Chile's Constitution is entitled "GOBIERNO Y ADMINISTRACIÓN INTERIOR DEL ESTADO", and its first article, currently article 110 (article 99 in the 1980 text), reads as follows: " Artículo 110.- Para el gobierno y administración interior del Estado, el territorio de la República se divide en regiones y éstas en provincias. Para los efectos de la administración local, las provincias se dividirán en comunas. La creación, supresión y denominación de regiones, provincias y comunas; la modificación de sus límites, así como la fijación de las capitales de las regiones y provincias, serán materia de ley orgánica constitucional." It then moves on to "Gobierno y Administración Regional" (Articles 111-115), "Gobierno y Administración Provincial" (Articles 116-117) and "Adminstración Comunal" (Articles 118-122). https://www.leychile.cl/Navegar?idNorma=242302 So I don't think it's referring exactly to how Chilean internal affairs are administrated but rather to the internal structure of the state in administrative and institutional terms. I would call this the administrative organisation of the state; this is necessarily internal so I don't think you need to use that word. An example of this expression: "We then move to examine the administrative structure of the state at the federal level" https://books.google.es/books?id=DZV6BAAAQBAJ&pg=PT45&lpg=PT... "The administrative organization of the state. In terms of the 2006 Constitution, the DRC is, short of a federal state, a highly decentralized unitary state." http://www.nyulawglobal.org/globalex/Democratic_Republic_Con... Alternatively, you could use the literal "internal administration of the state", which is how this chapter of the Constitution is translated here, for example: http://confinder.richmond.edu/admin/docs/Chile.pdf In this translation of the Constitution they use "interior administration", which I don't like so much, but is a possibility if you prefer: https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Chile_2012.pd... Here is a Chilean manual on "Gobierno y administración interior del estado", and you'll see that it's all about the internal territorial and institutional structure of the state: https://www.bcn.cl/obtienearchivo?id=documentos/10221.1/1453... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2016-12-12 11:03:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On the comments received, I wouldn't omit "of the state"; I think it's needed, and the resulting title is not excessively long in my view. I'm still not altogether happy with "internal administration", even though it's literally accurate; I don't think it really conveys what this phrase is referring to. And personally I would put Public Policy in the singular. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2016-12-12 11:38:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The point is that this is about how the state is administered internally in terms of different levels of government; it's about what is done and by which public bodies at local, provincial, regional and national level. That's why "internal administration" alone is not enough. |
