Summary/Abstract: Under the conditions of globalization there is a stronger response at the European level and in Romania towards regionalisation and local development, as a trend. Access to the structural funds is accomplished through regional policy, so that the country needs a consistent regionalisation. At the European Union level there are several types of regionalisation, but Romania, a centralised unitary State could not adopt than an administrative regionalization, the hardest and most lacking autonomy type. Because the political authorities have not been able to prepare in advance this process, the new financial programming period of the European Union finds Romania's policies without the regional administrative level established legally, following a further period of seven years, when the implementation of regional policy structural funds will suffer.
