  • Gender and Elections in Romania
    GENDER AND ELECTIONS IN ROMANIA ABSTRACT UNDP has been undertaking a series of case study research projects about the opportunities and challenges for ZRPHQ¶VSDUWLFLSDWLRQDVYoters in the Europe CIS region. The present case study presents an analysis of gender and the electoral legislation reform process in Romania, focusing on two aspects of the legal framework factor: WKHHIIHFWRIWKHHOHFWRUDOV\VWHPRQZRPHQ¶VSDUWLFLSDWLRQDQGJHQGHUTXRWDVDVPHDQVRIHQKDQFLQJZRPHQ¶V descriptive representation. An important entry point is to acknowledge that low participation and representation of ZRPHQLVDVHULRXVLVVXHWKDWLPSDFWV5RPDQLD¶VGHPRFUDWL]DWLRQSURFHVV2QWKLVSDWKWRZDrds gender equality in politics, representatives of civil society should be carefully monitoring political actors who may have learned and are skilled at using the discourse of gender equality, but less so the practice. Future public discussions and debates on political participation and representation should focus on the role of political parties in shaping specific democratic differences. The debates should also emphasize the role of the electoral system in ensuring adequate representation of women. If change towards more gender equality in politics is needed, the joint efforts of all key actors are required. TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3 1. INTRODUCTION 5 2. METHODOLOGY 6 3.

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.

Dincolo de zgomotul de fond afonic al feluritelor dispute se desprinde însă ceea ce a marcat ultima parte a anului: modul în care un incident, precum cel al in- cendiului de la clubul „Colectiv”, s-a repercutat asupra evoluţiilor politice, într-un scenariu desprins parcă din „Scrisoarea pierdută” a lui Caragiale: cum din con- fruntarea dintre PSD-ul aflat la guvernare şi PNL-ul dor- nic să-i ia locul cât mai curând a triumfat acest Dandanache XXI – guvernul Tehnocrat al lui Cioloş. Semnificaţia profundă a evenimentului constă în inca- pacitatea actorilor politici de a determina acele mutaţii pe care societatea le cere şi abandonul laş în faţa imix- tiunilor externe în cursul proceselor interne.

  • Scrisoare Deschisa
    Scrisoare deschisă Către BPN În atenţia: Domnului Preşedinte Emil Boc Domnilor prim-vicepreşedinţi Adriean Videanu Theodor Stolojan Domnului Secretar General Vasile Blaga Stimaţi colegi, Am ales această cale de a vă comunica preocuparea noastră în legătură cu ceea ce se întâmplă în Organizaţia Constanţa, datorită modului în care a fost gestionată criza începută pe data de 2 iunie 2008. Suntem membri vechi, ataşaţi partidului, care am muncit şi nu am lovit niciodată partidul, de aceea nu ne este uşor să comunicăm cu dvs. pe această cale . Suntem nevoiţi însă, deoarece avem impresia că forţe nevăzute, atât din exterior dar mai ales din interior , doresc să slăbească şi mai mult această organizaţie măcinată de lupte interne ani de zile. În timp ce PSD şi PNL şi-au desemnat candidaţii pentru alegerile parlamentare şi au început deja campania electorală , noi trăim într-o stare de incertitudine conduşi de o echipă fără consistenţă, fără legitimitate şi incapabilă să poarte o luptă electorală atât de dură, precum se anunţă cea din această toamnă (ce rezultate credeţi că vom obţine cu candidaţi ca Dorel Onaca, Senol Zevri, Ion Popescu, Laurenţiu Mironescu, Marius Ciobanu?). Trebuie să înţelegeţi că la Constanţa este nevoie de un om care să conducă o echipa, în care să se regăsească toate forţele pozitive şi toate energiile constructive ale partidului, pentru ca organizaţia să se refacă cu adevărat. Politica începută de Ion Popescu şi continuată de Mircea Banias, de excluderi şi divizare a organizaţiei este total neproductivă şi dictată parcă de PSD şi PNL. Regretăm că modul statutar şi deschis dialogului în care am acţionat noi şi colegii noştri (inclusiv cei care au fost excluşi) a fost tratat cu indiferenţă atât de către echipa condusă de Mircea Banias cât şi de cea condusă de Ion Popescu.

    Proiecte de succes în Administraţia Publică locală şi centrală intelligent management intelligent Nr. 144/15 aprilie - 15 mai 2012 12 ani. Saga MCTI/MCSI VDI, între economii și costuri ascunse ERP: local versus internațional ICSI Rm. Vâlcea - în avangarda implementării și dezvoltării tehnologice a energiilor regenerabile EDITORIAL RECOMANDĂRI Company focus De la tendințe la referințe 24 În IT, schimbarea face parte din ADN, atât la nivel de concepte și tehnologii, cât și de mar- keting. Pentru a produce valoare și pentru a se adapta la mersul economiei reale, industria se reinventează permanent, de cele mai multe ori laboratorul de creație fiind companiile și piețele mature. Globalizarea face însă ca toate aceste noutăți tehnologice să pătrundă rapid și pe piețele emergente, cum este cea locală. Inevita- bil însă, se produce un decalaj între mesajele de marketing ale vendorilor și capacitatea pieței de a „consuma“ aceste noi tehnologii. Am întâlnit situații în care nici chiar vendorii înșiși nu erau Business Solutions pregătiți pentru livra noile concepte, pionieratul fiind întotdeauna un demers consumator de resurse și inventivitate. Toată industria dorește să profite de un concept nou, a se vedea comunicarea intensă din jurul Cloud Computing, însă este o cale lungă de la tendințe la referințe. Pentru a recolta, ogorul trebuie mai întâi desțelenit, arat, însămânțat etc. Iar pentru asta este nevoie de un efort conjugat: vendori, consultanți, 40 presă etc. Mă surprind afirmațiile unor oficiali despre imaturitatea pieței pe anumite orizontale tehnologice și despre clienți lipsiți de interes, atâta vreme cât eforturile făcute de companiile lor pentru promovarea soluțiilor respective sunt minime. Și nu mă refer aici la publicitate, ci la realizarea unor studii de caz la clienții early adopters, la dezbarea subiectului în public, la implicarea în anchetele facute de presă etc.
