Administrative divisions of Chile
Encyclopedia
The administrative division
or territorial organization of Chile
exemplifies characteristics of a unitary state
. State administration is functionally and geographically decentralized, as appropriate for each authority in accordance with the law.
For the interior government and administration within the State, the territory of the republic
has been divided into 15 regions (regiones), 54 provinces
(provincias) and 346 communes (comunas) since the 1970s process of reform, made at the request of the National Commission on Administrative Reform (Comisión Nacional de la Reforma Administrativa or CONARA). State agencies exist to promote the strengthening of its regionalization, equitable development and solidarity between regions, provinces and communes within the nation.
Since 2005, the creation, abolition and designation of regions, provinces and communes, the altering of their boundaries, and the establishment of the regional and provincial capitals are part of constitutional law.
The Ministries of Chile (except the Ministries of the Interior
, National Defense
, Foreign Affairs and Secretary General of the Presidency
) are devolved to regional level, being represented by regional ministries, integrating the so-called "regional cabinet," chaired by the regional intendent.
Before 1974, Chile was divided into:
In October 2007, two new regions came into force: The I Tarapacá Region
was divided laterally to create XV Arica and Parinacota Region to the north, and similarly, the XIV Los Lagos Region
was split to create XIV Los Ríos Region
to its north. Also there are plans to create a joint region between the provinces of Linares
and Cauquenes
by splitting the VII Maule Region
.
On March 11, 2010, the creation of the Marga Marga Province
gave Chile a new total of 54 provinces.

and the Regional Council (Consejo Regional).
(Gobernación Provincial), headed by a governor (gobernador), appointed by the President of the Republic
. It exercises its powers in accordance with the instructions from the regional intendant. It is advised by the Provincial Economic and Social Council (Consejo Económico y Social Provincial or CESPRO).

In January 2001, the Provincial Delegation of Santiago was created with the position of a Provincial Delegate, who exercises the functions of a provincial governor on behalf of the respective intendant.
and a communal council (Consejo Comuna), elected directly for a period of 4 years renewable.
