Sažetak
The subnational organisational level of government is a dynamic system which is subject to constant minor or major systematic changes. Despite numerous similarities, the internal subnational organisation of each EU Member State also has certain specific characteristics, which together make the operational optimisation of system management more complex. The diversity of subnational organisation of European states results from several factors, primarily from: (a) the form of government ; (b) historic and administrative legacies and circumstances ; (c) specific geographic or national features of individual parts of the territory within a state union, and (d) dominant political and economic standpoint in relation to the subnational organisation within an individual state. The paper first discusses historical development of systems of subnational organisation of government, and further examines and analyses the three aspects of recent formal system organisation, namely (i) the type and number of organisational levels, (ii) specific forms of formal organisation of each EU Member State, and (iii) the fragmentation of the basic organisational form i.e. 1st level units. Based on the latest available and analysed data, the current subnational level of EU Member States comprises 86, 027 1st level units, 1, 072 2nd level units and 245 3rd level units. The average number of inhabitants per one subnational 1st level unit is 5, 184 inhabitants, median per number of inhabitants is 4, 667, the average number of subnational 1st level units per 100, 000 inhabitants is 15.9, while the average surface area of one subnational level unit is 46.5 km2.
