Summary/Abstract: We analyze the dynamics of inter-community development associations (IDA) in the growth pole policies in Romania, in the framework provided by the Regional Operational Program (ROP). Prerequisites for accessing funds from ROP for development projects of growth poles included the development of strategic plans in each of the growth poles (Integrated Urban Development Plans ‒ IUDP), which to be submitted for approval by IDAs from each growth pole to the ministry responsible with regional development. We expect that IDAs developed under exogenous influences have less financial and human capacities and be less active in the policy implementation, while IDAs established under endogenous influences be more active, have better human and financial capacity, with influences on the policy implementation on local levels.
