Abstract:

This paper analyses the clientelistic behaviour of governments and provides evidence that politically aligned localities are favoured by the centre in the allocation of public funds. It focuses on the case of Romania, an ex-communist, developing country, where this issue represents a controversial topic, being strongly criticized by the media, still never analysed in a rigorous scientific manner.
