The Office of Prefect in Greece : from Deconcentration to Decentralisation The Greek State has a recent Constitution (dating back to the 1820s). In order to allow for territorial unification under one central power, a network of prefects -placed at the head of departments -was introduced, to represent the centre and control the periphery. This System lasted until the 1980s. It was a statute of 1986 which instituted the region as a unit of deconcentrated power within the framework of planning policy ; the region to be headed by a Regional General Secretary (RGS), nominated by the govemment. No form of hierarchy was established between the RGS and the prefect. Moreover, a 1994 statute instituted the prefect, henceforth elected, as the executive power in the departaient which is a decentralised unit. The prefect must now act alongside the SGR -whose attributions have been extended and who exercises a control over the legality of acts of the department -and the mayors of large constituencies (an office created following the launching in 1997 of a programme of compulsory merger of communes)
