    About Romania Romania (Romanian: România, IPA: [ro.mɨni.a]) is a country in Southeastern Europe sited in a historic region that dates back to antiquity. It shares border with Hungary and Serbia to the west, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova to the northeast, and Bulgaria to the south. Romania has a stretch of sea coast along the Black Sea. It is located roughly in the lower basin of the Danube and almost all of the Danube Delta is located within its territory. Romania is a parliamentary unitary state. As a nation-state, the country was formed by the merging of Moldavia and Wallachia in 1859 and it gained recognition of its independence in 1878. Later, in 1918, they were joined by Transylvania, Bukovina and Bessarabia. At the end of World War II, parts of its territories (roughly the present day Moldova) were occupied by USSR and Romania became a member of Warsaw Pact. With the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, Romania started a series of political and economic reforms that peaked with Romania joining the European Union. Romania has been a member of the European Union since January 1, 2007, and has the ninth largest territory in the EU and with 22 million people [1] it has the 7th largest population among the EU member states. Its capital and largest city is Bucharest (Romanian: Bucureşti /bu.kureʃtʲ/ (help·info)), the sixth largest city in the EU with almost 2 million people. In 2007, Sibiu, a large city in Transylvania, was chosen as European Capital of Culture.[2] Romania joined NATO on March 29, 2004, and is also a member of the Latin Union, of the Francophonie and of OSCE.

  • Changes in Rurality in the Carpathian Mountains 1918-1945
    GEOGRAPHICA PANNONICA Volume 12, Issue 1, 12–38 (2008) The Drive for Modernisation in Inter-War Eastern Europe: Changes in Rurality in the Carpathian Mountains 1918-1945 David Turnock1 Received: January 2008 | Revised: October 2008 | Accepted: October 2008 Abstract The history of settlement in the Carpathians in modern times has combined the growth of urban centres on the margins and major valleys with dispersed rural settlement which has produced (for example) the distinctive ‘kopanitsa’ landscape of Slo- vakia. It has also taken place in the context of imperialism with the Habsburg Empire as the dominant political force. This pa- per concentrates on the relatively short inter-war period witnessing the emergence of nation states in the Carpathian-Danu- bian region and a growing concern for industrial development for reasons of both employment and state security; a priority that has also had major implications for infrastructure in order to mobilise both the population and the natural resources in the context of newly-constituted national territories that required effective unification through new roads and railways across mountain terrain. The task was always going to be formidable in the context of a short period of two decades (complicat- ed by the great economic depression) but grappling with the challenges provides a fascinating context for a discourse in his- torical geography. The paper looks at the building of new nation states before considering economic issues influenced by a sense of demographic ‘crisis’ as rapid population growth not only compensated for the losses of the First World War but im- posed heavy pressure on agricultural land that could now be increased only marginally in the mountain region.

  • Romania: Will Economic Growth Come Back to Strong Performance?
    panoramaTHE COFACE ECONOMIC PUBLICATIONS August 2014 Romania: Will economic growth come back to strong performance? TABLE OF CONTENTS After five challening years Romania’s economic performance proved that it has become one of the leaders of the European recovery and exceeded expectations with GDP growth rising by 3.5% in 2013. However, Part I: Recent Developments / 02 the slowldown of the growth in 2014 shows another picture. / 07 Part II: Sector Developments Looking into the details of Romanian growth outperforming the 2013 CEE average of 1.2%, it can be concluded that significant contributions Transport Sector came from the agricultural sector as well as industry, particularly car production supplying mainly foreign customers. Agricultural Sector Can those factors be considered as sustainable contributors to future / 15 Part III: Sector Barometer economic performance in Romania, especially as the country has reentered into a technical recession in the first two quarters of 2014? / 16 Part VI: Conclusions In this Panorama we will also look into the agricultural sector as a crucial sector for the Romanian economy employing nearly a third of its workforce. The transport sector in Romania is also an important pillar of the country’s economy. The Romanian transport companies, with the second largest fleet of goods vehicles in the CEE region and attractive labour costs, are well equipped to satisfy increasing demand for transport services and international trade. This Panorama will answer the question of whether they are current ‘blue chips’ for whom the only problem at the moment could be ‘complaining’ about the huge demand for their services. Last but not least, the Panorama briefly investigates the risk levels of particular sectors of the Romanian economy.
