PERSPECTIVES ON THE NEED FOR REGIONALIZATION IN ROMANIA AND ITS ECONOMIC EFFECTS

Abstract

Local autonomy is considered the Romanian doctrine one of the most effective forms of self-management. It is the local authorities that ensure a high degree of democracy, turning them by granting autonomy, in real counter-power to prevent abuse of the central government. Regionalization is a process with a dual orientation, targeting primarily the reduction of disparities at the county level and rallying to trends imposed by the European Union. For Romania, the existence of yet another administrative level can generate on the one hand bureaucratic difficulties, but is a necessary part of future development, balanced, coherent and sustainable.
