Government / Politics
Spanish term or phrase: administración comunal
Estimados: Debo traducir un documento que habla de política en Argentina y aparece esta frase: "Luego, en la administración comunal se fue reafirmando la convicción de que la gente tiene un lugar preponderante". Hace referencia al sistema de comunas de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires por lo que la palabra "comunal"/ "comuna" sería la que se está buscando específicamente. Desde ya, muchas gracias a todos por su tiempo.

agree  Robert Carter: While commune does have other connotatioms, I think it's correct to use it here, although it might be worth leaving a short explanation as a footnote.

local government
Definition
Related Terms
An administrative body for a small geographic area, such as a city, town, county, or state. A local government will typically only have control over their specific geographical region, and can not pass or enforce laws that will affect a wider area. Local governments can elect officials, enact taxes, and do many other things that a national government would do, just on a smaller scale.
