Summary/Abstract: In a world where choosing the development model of the communities we live in is at the heart of many debates, it is increasingly difficult to establish predefined development models for all communities. Whether we are referring to centralized development models (top down), whether we refer to regional or local ones (bottom-up) they must be addressed in a context and meet both local and national and European needs. Debates around the most effective development models are in the attention of the European Union (EU) whose „heart” is cohesion policy. Where and how we act, who we are considering when setting development priorities are the most complex issues we need to look at in order to maximize the results of EU cohesion policy aimed at „reducing development gaps between European countries and regions”. How the new regional development paradigm is approached, what development models are effective at EU level, what are the new approaches and how their choice is justified in the context of the last programming exercises are the questions that this presentation seeks to answer.
