  Abstract:  The Barrier Effect of the Danube in the Regional Development of the South-West, Oltenia Region. Case Study. The Danube River has always been a natural barrier as well as a navigable channel – these two major aspects being crucial for the economic development of its common border states for a long period of time. In the context of economic globalization, the barrier effect of the Danube tends to lose importance, becoming a major issue in regional development. The problems raised by the Danube in the territorial policies of development have a direct influence on the regional development of the South-West Oltenia Region. This represents one of the strongest issues for the future strategies of development. The Danube River must be contextualized again and transformed from a non-permissive barrier into a permissive one.

Keywords: barrier effect, regional development, corridor of development, economic integration, globalization.
