Strategies for reducing regional disparities in Romania
Keywords:
Regional development; territorial disparities; Romanian provinces
Abstract
The disparities in the development of a country’s regions could threat the social and political equilibrium of a nation. In general, the reduction of such disparities is a complex task for the governments, involving substantial resources and long periods of time. This paper approaches the strategies of Romanian public authorities to deal with the spatially uneven development between 1924 and 2021. The transformations that occurred in the Romanian society during that period led to significant changes in the purposes and instruments of such strategies.
