Abstract
The European integration process continuously introduces new tasks to Member States’ and acceding countries’ governments. Ensuring public policies coordination, in particularly, intra-governmental coordination at national level represents one. Intra-governmental coordination in Romania is an atypical case; public institutions are concerned constantly to improve that. The attention from this paper goes up on this case and aims: (a) applying the scale on the coordination capacity in order to identify the national public policies coordination degree, (b) analyzing the effectiveness of efforts made by Romania for developing some coordination mechanisms, (c) drawing a list with the basic (minimal) conditions required for coordination, (d) identifying the advantages and disadvantages of this instrument.
Keywords: coordination, public policies, scale on the coordination capacity
