Abstract: In the present context, the governance of local territorial collectivities based on fundamental principles is an indispensable attribute of democracy. The article deals with the application of fundamental principles in the organization and functioning of local territorial collectives in Romania. When we talk about fundamental principles, we have in mind the principles of local autonomy, decentralization of public services, subsidiarity, legality, consultation of citizens in local issues of particular interest. At present, these principles are governed by the Constitution of Romania, but are also developed by specific regulations, thus giving up a hierarchical and unified administrative structure and granting some autonomy to local authorities who will have the right to exercise their powers in issues related to the local community. The principles referred to are called to ensure the proper functioning of local communities, their dynamic development in economic, social, cultural environment. Analyzing the evolution of the European and world governance in the last few years, it is noticed that a certain tendency of organizing and functioning of the local territorial collectivities has emerged on the basis of these fundamental principles, the collectivities being assigned, through the local or county authorities, prerogatives, accompanied by financial resources to better solve the problems faced by people in local communities and implicitly to provide them with performing services.
