  • 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.

Signed Date 22 October 2014 Abstract This thesis explores the significance of national identity in shaping the trajectory of Romania’s foreign policy between 1990 and 2007. It explains why and how Romania’s Euro-Atlantic national identity was subject to re- definitions and discursive dialogue prior to the European Union accession on 1 January 2007, as well as how and why these identity re-definitions influenced the state’s foreign policy decisions. The research employs a multi- dimensional framework of national identity, which draws from four academic literatures related to: constructivism, nationalism studies, collective memory and self-esteem and international recognition.

  • Románia És a NATO: a Különleges Partner
    Nemzet és Biztonság 2012/4. szám | 3–9. Varga Ádám Románia és a NATO: a különleges partner Az Egyesült Államok európai geostratégiai jelenléte és érdekérvényesítési képessége szempontjából néhány iránta erősen elkötelezett európai államra – térségünkben Len- gyelországra és Romániára – támaszkodhat közel két évtizede. Ez az erős transzat- lanti kapocs a NATO-n belül is hangsúlyos, és különösen Románia igyekszik minden tekintetben megfelelni a „különleges partner” szerepnek, legyen szó az európai ra- kétavédelmi rendszerről, az afganisztáni vagy a líbiai szerepvállalásról. Cikkünk azt a folyamatot mutatja be, melynek eredményeképpen Románia a térségünk NATO-tag- államai közül az egyik leginkább elkötelezett szövetségessé vált. Út a NATO-tagsághoz A román külpolitika 1991-ben vette fel a kapcsolatot a NATO-val, amikor Manfréd Wör- ner akkori NATO-főtitkár Petre Roman román miniszterelnök meghívására Bukarestbe látogatott. Ugyanebben az évben Adrian Nastase részt vett az Észak-atlanti Együttmű- ködési Tanács (EACC) első ülésén. Azt, hogy Románia csatlakozni kíván a NATO-hoz, Iliescu elnök jelentette be 1993. februári brüsszeli látogatásán, majd a NATO-hoz való csatlakozás az ország fő külpolitikai célkitűzésévé válva még az EU-csatlakozásnál is ki- emeltebb figyelmet kapott részben „könnyebben teljesíthető”, kevesebb az ország fejlett- ségével összefüggő kérdést felvető jellege miatt. Bukarest 1994-ig elsősorban politikai nyilatkozatok formájában „tett lépéseket” a NA- TO-csatlakozás érdekében, tényleges politikai és szervezeti átalakításokra csak azt köve- tően került sor, hogy az ország (a közép- és kelet-európai államok közül elsőként) aláírta a NATO Békepartnerségi Megállapodást (Partnership for Peace – PfP), illetőleg az ahhoz kapcsolódó Egyéni Partnerségi Programot (Individual Partnership Program – IPP). A legjelentősebb változásokra Emil Constantinescu elnökké választását, illetőleg a libe- rális kormányzat hatalomra kerülését követően került sor 1996-ban és az azt követő évek- ben.

Patterns of trade have been badly disrupted, resulting in huge economic losses that have made the transition from state-led to market economies even more problem-laden. Prospects for the consolidation of fragile democracies inevitably dwindle as a result of the added social hardships as well as the climate of ascendant nationalism. The tendency of neighbouring states to champion different sides in the conflict, on the basis of longstanding diplomatic, cultural, or religious links, has also blighted the prospects of regional co-operation. 2 The terrible nature of events in the former Yugoslavia have obscured a long-running quarrel between Romania and Hungary which strengthened the forces of radical nationalism in both countries during the early 1990s.
