Abstract

The article analyzes the prominent new features of the organizational model, decentralization, and operation of two-level government, specifi cally the transition from a three-level government model (province - district - commune) to a two-level model (province - commune). It assesses the impacts on the eff ectiveness of state management and administrative reform, relates these changes to legal theories of local autonomy, and proposes orientations for developing the administrative management model. This marks a turning point in administrative reform, aiming for a more streamlined, eff ective, and effi cient administrative apparatus.

Keywords: Administrative, commune-level, province-level, two levels, merger.
