Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the evolution of the European Union's cohesion policy, whose fundamental objective is to enhance the social and economic cohesion of member states, including the changes that have taken place in 2014-2020. Because in this perspective, a number of studies and analyzes have been proposed to change it by giving it a territorial dimension that takes into account the use of endogenous potentials and the specificity of particular territories. The proposed changes should contribute to a fuller use of the potentials for more effective growth, employment and cohesion. The Integrated Development Investment as an element of the new regional policy paradigm has also become a new instrument of development implemented at the level of the European Union. The paper also covers the basic concepts and definitions that have allowed us to define a new dimension of regional policy, taking into account its evolution and its impact on the environment.
