THE INTEGRATION OF LOCAL ADMINISTRATION IN THE ROMANIAN PUBLIC AND ECONOMIC SPACE

The convergence of the Romanian government to the European public space requires a permanent effort of adaptation, which should make use of constructive constituents specific to our country and to apply them the characteristics of modern and efficient administrations. Continuous changes of expectations and the interests of citizens requires, however, that the public administration (and especially the local one) to continuously reform, which increases the difficulty of this process, which requires a flexible upper of public management. It is important, however, that - despite these difficulties - the process to be done in a legal and organizational framework, on solid and firm coordinates, based on modern European principles, without affecting a specific area of city administration. This paper tries to x-ray this state of facts and proposes some interesting approaches related to the mechanisms of integration of local public administration- LPA in this space. This way, analyzing the organization and functioning of the public sector, the paper stresses the changes occurring in this area following the more pronounced implementation in the administration of the 3 E principle (economy, efficiency and effectiveness), on the background of an intense manifestation of local autonomy and financial decentralization. The authors note and highlight the phenomena o slipping of the public sector towards the private sector, due to the emergence of competition and the need for efficiency and effectiveness in the use of public financial resources, which resizes the mode of action and responsibility for public management, decreasing this way the political connotations.
