Oltenia and the Idea of Regionalization – A Historical Perspective

Summary/Abstract: Bănia Craiovei, despite the fact that it represented an institution with a certain degree of autonomy, contributed to ensuring the interwar cohesion of Wallachia. Its dissolution was made in the context beginning an approach of a centralist paradigm, in the Romanian politics and administration, this manifesting itself after 1831, until the moment when King Carol II reintroduced the regions, in 1938, for a short time, and then to return to the centralized system (with a short interruption in 1952–1968), after 1968.The article offers a general perspective, historical and not only, on Oltenia.
