(according to the Organic Law of Regional Governments, the regions (Spanish: regiones) are, with the departments, the first-level administrative subdivisions of Peru)
Since its 1821 independence, Peru had been divided into departments (departamentos) but faced the problem of increasing centralization of political and economic power in its capital, Lima.
After several unsuccessful regionalization attempts, the national government decided to temporarily provide the departments (including the Constitutional Province of Callao) with regional governments until the conformation of regions according to the Organic Law of Regional Governments that say that to conform a region is necessary that two or more departments merge.
This situation turned the departments into de facto regional government circumscriptions since a department alone cannot become a region.
The first regional governments were elected to manage the departments on November 20, 2002.
Under the new arrangement, the 24 departments plus the Callao Province are regional circumscriptions each with a Regional Government.
The province of Lima has been excluded from this process and is not a regional circumscription
its government institution is the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima.
Unlike the previous system, the regional circumscriptions have an elected government and have a wide array of responsibilities within their jurisdiction.
Under the 2002 Organic Law of Regional Governments (Spanish: Ley Orgánica de Gobiernos Regionales), there is an ongoing process of transfer of functions from the central government to the regions.
A 2005 referendum for the merger of several departments failed to get the necessary electoral support.
(peruvian departments are subdivided into ‘provinces’ + ‘districts’)
