Summary/Abstract: After the 1918 Unification, one of the most widely debated problems of the interwar period was the administrative organisation of the Romanian state. The great complexity of the new state, composed of provinces with a different political, social, cultural, and economic background, provided the fertile ground for this debate. The setting up of a provincial level of administration and government was the most frequently discussed element of the administrative organisation of the state.This paper aims to analyse some of the most relevant projects of federal and regional organisation of the interwar period and to identify the main ideological trends regarding the federal and regional organisation of the Romanian state.
