Regional Development – Strategic Objective or Multicausal Challenge?

Journal Title: Geographia Napocensis - Year 2011, Vol 0, Issue 1

Abstract

The phenomenon of regional development, defining for the present evolution of civilization, is in the process of settling its multiple and complex meanings, of determining the logistics it claims, of specifying in a rigorous manner the actors that support and promote it. The hypostasis of strategic objective that it induces is given by the need to manage a finite space in the context of infinite demands, to counterpoise globalisation and its adverse, perverse effects; by the paramount importance of universities in achieving its desiderata; by the undisputed role that regional development will play in foreshadowing the solutions to exit from the present crisis. Among the challenges of regional development, we mention its searches to control complexity, the metamorphosis of the unique matrix of the centralized national sate into a political-administrative system composed of development regions with a wide economic and social autonomy; its increasingly visible role as political weapon; its decisive contribution to the resilience of territorial systems.
