International Relations of Regional Development Agencies–RDA in Romania. Opportunities and/or Challenges

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to analyze how international relations is managed by RDAs and what impact they have on regional development and on collaboration between different regions from Romania and the EU. It examines certain scenarios / approaches that lead to significant changes and how they affect long term development strategies. We will have three scenarios. The first refers to the model of initiation of international cooperation by RDA s and which leads to the diversity of collaborations through actions. The second emphasizes the approach only in response to proposals received by RDA s for international cooperation. The third highlights the extent to which the opportunity offered by European funds and international organizations for cooperation is accessed, a scenario that combines several aspects, including the creation of an important context of financial support that facilitates international relations and experience exchanges. These scenarios are then merged into a single framework in which the international dimensions of the approaches will be compared. The sources of documentation are the databases, authors, direct discussions, and the information obtained after completing a questionnaire that had been applied to all RDA s in Romania. Possible models for approaching international cooperation for development agencies in Romania are analyzed. The result is a study on the impact of international cooperation on EU regional development.
