| Summary: | The objectives targeted by this research paper refer to the analysis of the new economic context atthe level of the local public administration in the Romanian regions. The paper will identify the existence andextent of structural changes occurred at the level of the local public administration, as well as efforts it madein substituting traditional funding means with European funds. The paper at hand is a continuation of theauthor’s prior work on the topic of regional differences in Romania and on the effects of European funding onlocal economic development in our country. The main methods used in the paper are: the comparativeanalysis performed at the regional level and the empirical study of the involvement of regional localauthorities in accessing European funds. The implications of the research results are valuable both totheoreticians and practitioners, since they indicate the willingness of local public administration to becomeflexible, pro-active and involved in enhancing its development. Also, conclusions can be drawn regarding theadministrative capacity of the regions. The value of the research results resides in the fact that the analysisapproach is new and the data combination used provides a fresh perspective on the matter. |
