Abstract: Uneven regional development can be perceived and shown to exist in all the countries of the world (irrespective of the level of development). The literature on regional development dealing with the relevant issues represents basically a uniform standpoint on the causes resulting in the development of regional disparities as well as on the questions of the role to be played by the state (the budget) for the purpose of their moderation. It is, however, less uniform in judging the impact and efficiency of the interventions. Beyond the different approaches of economic policy, it definitely involves the fact that relatively little attention has been paid to demonstrate the socio-economic usefulness and benefits of the development interventions and their impacts on regional convergences (in terms of the points of views of the distribution of resources) for a long time. The fact that the pace of regional convergences has lagged behind expectations in most of the countries may be attributed to this.
