The Impact of the European Union on Corruption in Romania
The Impact of the European Union on Corruption in Romania Alexandru Hirsu Hamilton College Advisor: Alan Cafruny, Ph. D. Professor of Government Levitt Research Fellowship-Summer 2015 Abstract After the revolution of 1989, Romania confronted with high levels of corruption, and had a difficult time strengthening its democratic process. 10 years later, when the country became an official candidate for accession to the European Union (EU), the Romanian democracy saw hope for consolidation. However, despite the expertise and resources provided by the EU until 2007 in order for Romania to meet the acquis communautaire, the EU failed to bring about sustainable change. An incomplete European framework with guidelines tailored to Romania’s fragile democracy, and inadequate monitoring of the country’s political actions were the main causes for Romania’s slow democratic consolidation. The paper provides an analysis on Romania’s fight against corruption with a focus on the development of the anticorruption agencies, the rule of law, and the public administration from 2006 to 2012. Introduction Although scholarly attention upon corruption has grown over the past years and the number of soft and hard legislative tools to combat corruption has increased, corruption today still represents one of the main threats to the stability of democratic governments. In post- communist satellite states, in particular, corruption has remained a more prevalent issue. Leslie Holmes referred to it as “a rising tide of sleaze in ex-communist Europe,” claiming that “corruption has replaced communism as the scourge of Eastern Europe” (2013, 1163). As an ex- communist state itself, Romania has struggled endlessly with corruption over the past twenty five years. -

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. -

PROGRAMME DOCUMENT PUBLIC FINANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT Strengthening Public Finance Capacities in the Western Balkans and Commonwealth of Independent States AMENDMENT no. 1 Programme Number: Total resources required: 800,000 USD Programme Title: Public Finance for Development: Total allocated resources: 800,000 USD Strengthening Public Finance Capacities in the Regular Western Balkans and Commonwealth of Independent States Other: Programme Site: Eastern Europe and CIS - Donor 800,000 USD Source of funds: Ministry of Finance of the Slovak - Government Republic Estimated start date: July 2012 Unfunded budget: Estimated end date: June 2014 In-kind Contributions Agreed by the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic: Ivan Mikloš, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of the SR Date Agreed by UNDP BRC: Jens Wandel, UNDP Regional Centre Director Date 1 I. Background and situation analysis Public finance for development The successful completion of a public finance reform requires a comprehensive exercise that requires not only legislative changes, but also investments in institutional capacity, human capital and public participation. The connection between public finance and good governance and human development is strong. Good practices in public financial management are critical in combating corruption, alleviating poverty, and guaranteeing an effective use of internal and external government resources. Increased tax revenues and results-based budgeting may also be key variables for enhancing social policy effectiveness. The original Programme document was approved by partners – the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic (MF SR) and the United Nations Development Programme Bratislava Regional Centre (UNDP BRC) – on 22 June 2009. The initial stage of the Programme implementation was devoted to identification of country’s public finance needs and priorities. -
