Journal Title: MANAGERIAL CHALLENGES OF THE CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 10
Abstract
Territorial cooperation greatly contributes to the achievement of the main objectives of both the European Cohesion Policy and the Rural Development Policy, reducing disparities among European regions. There are two types of cooperation at EU level: external and internal. The focus of this paper is on internal cooperation among local communities, within a specific county in Romania, Cluj county, in the North-West development region, for 2007-2013 and 2014-2020 programming periods. In the case of internal cooperation, one can talk about the LEADER approach and Local Action Groups (LAGs). The authors examine how these partnerships are created and managed during the two periods and they also analyze the projects developed during this time in terms of number, funds and area of interest. Having in mind that internal cooperation plays the most important part in local development, the paper aims to determine the level of communities’ openness towards cooperating and the most attractive sectors for implementing joint projects. The results show an increasing interest in creating local action groups (LAGs) between 2014 and 2017 at all territorial levels with an increase from 163 to 239 LAGs at national level, from 25 to 31 LAGs in North-West region, and from 7 to 10 LAGs in Cluj county.
