Summary/Abstract: The political regime in the Romanian space acknowledged, over a certain period of time, the spirit and conceptualization of institutions at the local level and recognized, to a certain extent, the importance and social involvement of local communities. The existence of a territory, the constitutional provisions on autonomy, and the legal protection of elected or appointed bodies with competence in law enforcement, as well as the organization and functioning of local authorities, were determined by the unitary character of the Romanian State and the constitutional principle of local autonomy. The social and political changes between 1866 and 1965 are reflected in the reforms of the modern Romanian state, which witnessed a significant evolution of local public authorities and adapted to tendencies of centralization or decentralization. Important institutions of local public administration in the Romanian space remained strong throughout history within the constitutional framework and functioned alongside the administrations of European states that influenced the Romanian administrative system.
