Free Zones Development in Romania – Premises, Determining Factors and Perspectives

Abstract

The free zone concept appears as a separate entity in a highly complex and dynamic environment. On the one hand it is a "creation" of this environment and on the other hand it is an active component that contributes essentially to the configuration of the natural, geographic, economic, social, technological, political, legal and IT environment as well as to its dynamics. Moreover its role is distinguishable from all above mentioned perspectives, even if its action is mainly economic.
