Summary/Abstract: A significant part of municipalities in Bulgaria are characterized as small in terms of population, area, as well as scarce resources and possibilities for economic, demographic and social development. Some of those can be defined as disadvantaged municipalities as regards the level of development and structure of the local economy, which necessitates more intensive support for their development. This indicates the need to seek alternative forms for the administrative and territorial structure and alternatives for the development of the territory of small municipalities. The objective set by the author of this paper is to examine clustering as a form of cooperation and partnership among municipalities and on that basis to lay down the benefits and opportunities arising from the implementation of this alternative for the development of the territories of small municipalities.
