The regional development politics is carried out in order to diminish these territorial differences. The aim of the present study is to identify the territorial disparities of the South- West Development Region and to point out to what extent intraregional policies should be put in practice in order to diminish these inequalities. Hence, we have characterized the region from the point of view of its physical-geographical and human characteristics after primarily presenting the historical evolution of the regional development policy in Romania. The SWOT analysis regarded the human capital, the settlement system and the infrastructure of the territorial system South-West Oltenia.
