This article focuses on the process of regional reform in Romania by investigating developments arising from the country's accession to the European Union (EU) and the influence of domestic central and subnational actors. It examines the way regionalisation and regional reforms are domestically perceived and justified by decision makers and the tensions that have arisen between different political and territorial interests. Finally, it considers the outcomes of the reform process and concludes that although Romania has adapted to the requirements of EU membership by adopting administrative regions, it has eschewed reforms that might threaten the authority of the central state
