Abstract

Regionalisation was a large debated subject in Europe in the last twenty –five years. In the last two years there was a political will in Romania to led a territorial reform aiming to strength economic competitiveness and to raise the structural funds absorption. The present article aims to fix some conceptual boundaries for a proper understanding of the subject, as well as to formulate alternatives and recommendations for the Romanian policy-makers who have intent to create administrative regions in Romania. The recommendations are based upon current theories and models identified in the literature review and upon our work experience in administrative reform.
