Abstract: Abstract The regional development and potential are influenced by various factors. There are regions with different levels of drawback generated by factors such as existing economic development, demography, multiculturalism, education etc. The main concern the researchers had was identifying the development gaps and the economic convergence ways at regional levels. We consider that proper policies could be designed having as starting point the drawback level of the region and the structure of the brakes. Could we evaluate a drawback rank that is acting as a burden for regions to access even the convergence programs? Could the health model of drawback rank be applied to the region’s development? The present research is proposing a composite development drawback index (CDDI) for Romanian counties using three sub-components: economic development, demography, multiculturalism, for a first stage. This 3D index applied to Romanian regions is a pilot study from nD (multidimensional) CDDI to be applied at European regions. The result of the pilot study highlighted the 2 ranks of CDDI identifying the main vulnerable regions, with lowest and lower potential of implementing tools of economic development and convergence. The public decision makers should design special push and pull tools to overlay the drawback and to give them a chance to compete with the regular units.
