| description | <p>Federalism, regionalism, regionalization are subjects that were and still are highly debated within European circles. The idea of federalism is present under various forms from the beginning of the European construction (The Schumann Plan, 1950). There are various concepts regarding federalism which are expressed by theorists of the European construction such as: Jean Monet who is an advocate of the functionalist theory, Denis de Rougemont, Altiero Spinelli or Joschka Fischer for whom the federalism represents a more intense democratisation of the European Union, a stronger Parliament with regard to the legislation principle as well as a stronger representation of the peoples of Europe at the supranational level. With regard to the regionalisation, a distinction has to be made between the concept of regionalism and that of regionalization. The first one is a process which starts from bottom up and which is initiated by certain communities living in the interior of a sovereign nation state, and the second one is imposed from up to bottom, having as actor the state. According to the Conference of European ministers responsible of the local communities (Lisbon 1977), the regionalization is a device through which the EU reduces the economical and social disparities creating a better cohesion between the different parts of Europe. If we consider Romania, here the administrative structure is half centralized. The 8 regions of Romania have only an economic character and each of them is guided by a Council of Regional Development which coordinates the Plan of Regional Development. In addition there is a Regional Development Agency which is in charge with the investment of the European Funds (PHARE).</p> |
