PROBLEMS OF THE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT IN ROMANIA In the context of Romania’s adhesion to the European Union, we should accurately evaluate the equences of this process on the economic and social activity in a regional plan, due to the
existence of some disparities between the development levels of different territorial administration
units. Thus, at this stage, the local authorities get increased responsibilities concerning the economic
growth, the finances and the local services administration, mainly the social care ones, social
protection, learning-educational and health care ones. This responsibility transfer takes place in
dynamic conditions, and the local authorities’ capacity to adapt to the new processes is significantly
different from a region to another – increasing the risk of regional differences from the point of view
of regional services delivery.
