The Economic Development of Administrativ-Teritorial Areas in the Context of Actual Administrative Teritorial Organisation in Romania

Administrative-territorial organisation is a problem of national interest and it is not given for ever. Without a solid administrative organisation we can not talk about systematic organisation of public activity. Administrative-territorial units are state cells, that assure indivisibility and unity, but giving exaggerates power to local units’ results a weak state. Today Romanian administrative-territorial organisation has two levels. First level is formed by communes and cities. The second level is formed by districts. Regional level was created in 1999, but this is not an administrative level. Regional level is an organisation modality to respond to European Unions’ requests. An eventual future administrative-territorial reorganisation should take in consideration an abstract element dictated by administrative law science and a concrete element resulted from Romanian peoples’ needs. The real questions regarding administrative-territorial reorganisation is to create regions and a second intermediary level or to keep the actual organisation and to realise a larger decentralization, especially in financial area. Regarding administrative-territorial reorganisation there are a few theories.
