Adrian Năstase Stimaţi colegi, Scuze pentru întârziere, dar am mai rezolvat diverse chestiuni de bucătărie înainte şi sper să vă prezentăm şi unele sugestii constructive, pentru că intrăm deja în faza deciziilor şi nu mai putem să mai aşteptăm în legătură cu echipa de campanie electorală şi celelalte aspecte concrete. După amiază mergem la discuţia cu domnul preşedinte Iliescu. Ce anume? Păi asta e ideea. Dl. Au spus la televiziune. Dl. Adrian Năstase Asta e ideea, şeful statului se delimitează. Există diferenţe de abordare şi comportament între mine şi mulţi dintre liderii PSD. Bineînţeles că presa a sărit imediat pe chestia asta. Realitatea TV. Probabil că au preluat-o în ziare de acolo. Bun. Interviul de la Realitatea. 1 Stenograma şedinţei Delegaţiei Permanente a Partidului Social Democrat Bucureşti, sediul central PSD, 12 ianuarie 2004 Dragi colegi, O să avem astăzi nenumărate teme de interes teoretic, dar avem şi mai multe chestiuni de interes practic, pe care sper să le rezolvăm în mod operativ. Aşa că, fără introduceri, trecem direct la primul punct - pregătirea alegerilor din 2004. Intră presa acuma sau nu? Bun, atunci fac o introducere politică, teoretică. A fost o întâlnire deosebit de interesantă la Sinaia. Retreatul a fost absolut deosebit, deşi sigur că au fost puncte de vedere diferite, dar 95% au fost extrem de pozitive. Au fost şi comentarii legate de reuniunea de la Berlin organizată de Fundaţia Betesman, fostul proprietar al ziarului Evenimentului zilei sau încă este, pentru că Consiliul Concurenţei nu a aprobat încă vânzarea şi invitaţia din partea lor - bănuiesc că domnul Nistorescu a sugerat să fim invitaţi acolo - a fost absolut extraordinară participarea şi am avut ocazia să discut cu premierul irlandez.

Memory, Identity, and Otherness in Post-1989 Romania Cristian-Alexandru Cercel PhD School of Government and International Affairs Durham University 2012 3 Abstract The recent history of the German minority in Romania is marked by its mass migration from Romania to Germany, starting roughly in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War and reaching its climax in the early 1990s, following the fall of Communism. Against this background, the present thesis investigates a phenomenon that can be termed “philo-Germanism without Germans”, arguing that the way the German minority in Romania is represented in a wide array of discourses is best comprehended if placed in a theoretical framework in which concepts such as “self-Orientalism”, “intimate colonization” and other related ones play a key role.

Ce change- ment de régime nous pouvons le retrouver avec sa spécificité dans le cas roumain. Comme Daniel Barbu l’observait, la théorie du vide du pouvoir qui a succédé aux événements de 1989 a permis à l’ancienne classe dominante de s’instituer non pas comme une partie dans la négociation, mais comme un arbitre de celle-ci. Pour cette raison on ne pourrait pas parler d’un changement au niveau des élites, mais seulement d’une reconfiguration institutionnelle, car au fond «le macro-change- ment politique a été accompagné par une micro-continuité individuelle»1.

  • The Story of the Infamous Psd Leadership Meetings Transcripts: a Case Study in (Failing) Rule of Law in Romania
    POLSCI DOCUMENTS THE STORY OF THE INFAMOUS PSD LEADERSHIP MEETINGS TRANSCRIPTS: A CASE STUDY IN (FAILING) RULE OF LAW IN ROMANIA The EU Commission has repeatedly signaled that during the Social Democratic Party (PSD) mandate of 2001-2004 Romania was falling short of meeting the Copenhagen criteria for EU admission. In particular, the government was blamed for being slow on the depoliticization of judiciary, ineffective in tackling corruption at the top, and not very keen on media independence. Bucharest has always been prompt in denying such accusations as groundless. Until November 2004, that is. One week before the first round of the national elections, hundreds of pages of transcripts from the PSD leadership's meetings in the past two years leaked to the public. A couple of newspapers still independent ran full pages with excerpts; one of them edited a book in three volumes with all the documents1; while the EU Delegation sent to Brussels an English language synthesis of the most interesting parts. The discussions held in these party meetings - some including statements with criminal implications for those who made them - came as a confirmation of the public's most pessimistic expectations. By and large, the PSD leaders were scheming how to manipulate judicial investigations and influence the decisions of courts; how to block the activity of the nominally independent agencies, such as the Court of Accounts, in order to cover the actions of ministers who misused public funds; and how to control more effectively the media, both public and private. What is more, some fragments were only confirming statements made before by other top officials, such as the president of the Court of Accounts, who in his draft annual report for 2003 was mentioning the pressure put on him by "high political circles".

    Justice and Home Affairs and Romania’s Accession to the European Union By Lara Scarpitta A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for Russian and East European Studies School of Social Science The University of Birmingham October 2008 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract When compared to the other candidate states of Central and Eastern Europe, Romania emerged as a laggard of transition. Its integration into the European Union has been marked by much uncertainty and setbacks, as well as profound delays in fulfilling the EU's entry conditions. As a difficult case, the dynamics of Romania's EU accession provide insight into the potential and limits of the EU's leverage, revealing how domestic factors can be decisive in constraining external influence. Focusing on the reform trajectory in the fields of judiciary reforms, anti-corruption and external border policies between 1989 and 2007, this study assesses the interaction between EU politics and domestic politics and the role of domestic factors in slowing down internal reforms.
