Abstract

This paper is aiming to analyze the situation of intermunicipal cooperation associations in Romania after 1989 and examines how inter-municipal cooperation works. Compared with others European Countries, in Romania the public administration system is highly centralized, this beeing an impediment in developing intermunicipal cooperation. Local communities can choose to join forces with other communities if this is the way to improve their efficiency and effectiveness. This paper’s objectives are to identify key challenges and solutions on the best ways to improve the environment and practice of inter-community cooperation in Romania. Inter-municipal co-operation is not only important for the improvement of service delivery to the citizens but also as an instrument of capacity - building. In addition, inter-municipal cooperation can support reforms that can speed up the process of local development.
