Abstract

The subject proposed in the present research paper is frequently debated and analysed, both at political level and at theoretical and practical level, the opinions and beliefs of the experts being sometimes contrary, but mostly reaching a common denominator: the cohesion and regional development represents for the Member States and for Romania an opportunity for supporting national economy re-launch, diminishing development inequalities and achieving economic and social convergence at territorial level. Therefore, the presentation of theories, techniques and methods for evaluating and interpreting the convergence process can be a useful approach, both for the academic environment and for the stakeholders.
