Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the regional policy of Romania in the programming period 2007-13. This evaluation is realised on the upper level, it means that we will compare the goals of the regional policy stated in the official documents (Law for Regional Development 315/2004 and the National Strategic Framework 2007-2013) with some empirical facts, by using the indicators related to the established goals. The paper brings evidence that the regional policy has failed in achieving his major objective: the reduction of regional disparities. Driven by the growth of the capital region Bucharest-Ilfov, the regional polarization has achieved its highest level during the post-socialist period.
