The victory of the United States and its Western Allies in the unfought war with the Soviet Union heralded a new era in which navies could forsake many of the demands of Photo: author preparing for high intensity warfare. Helping to ensure the security of the maritime shipping networks that continue to dominate global trade and the vast resources of emerging EEZs from asymmetric challenges arguably became many navies’ primary raison d’être.

    Südosteuropa 57 (2009), H . 2/3, S . 284-304 DEMOCRACY AND MARKET ECONOMY WIM VAN MEURS Romania: New Membership and Old Habits? Abstract. Political developments in Romania as well as the resulting deficits in transition management since EU accession raise a number of fundamental but difficult questions . Should Romania’s “old habits” be thought of as a Huntingtonian blend of the country’s pre-communist political institutions and political culture mixed with “Ceauşescuism”, that is, Romania’s exceptional type of state socialism, sometimes dubbed “sultanism”? Or should these “old habits” actually be explained in terms of an event as recent as Romania’s EU accession proc- ess – and thus be seen as a sort of “post-accession syndrome”? Or should at least some part of the supposed Romanian or Balkan exceptionalism, to which Romania’s “old habits” are often attributed, be viewed in comparison with recent trends in the political culture – that is, the democratic attitudes of the citizens and the informal rules of the political process – in West European polities? Questioning path-dependencies cannot alleviate the problems caused by the obvious flaws in Romania’s political process, but thinking through negative pan-European trends does imply rethinking stereotypes about the Balkans . Wim van Meurs is an Associate Professor at the History Department of Radboud University, Nijmegen . History and Characteristics of Transformation Historically, Romania has been characterized by a modernization gap be- tween its southern and eastern regions, which remained under Ottoman rule until 1878, and its more modern, urbanized western and northwestern regions, which were under Habsburg rule until 1918 .

Political System The political system of Romania takes place in a framework of a semi-presidential republic, whereby the Prime Minister is the head of government and the President of the Republic is the head of state. The government exercises the executive power. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of Parliament: the 412-seat Chamber of Deputies and the 176-seat Senate, which are elected for four years. Borrowing from its tragic past, the bicameral system in Romania is explained by the necessity to temper any possible authoritarian or extremist tendencies of a Chamber1. According to the Constitution, the Parliament of Romania grants the vote of confidence into the whole Cabinet and its political programme. Parliament also elects the magistrates composing the Superior Council of the Magistrature, and the two branches of Parliament are entitled to appoint three judges of the Constitutional Court each 2 .

    Democratization Through European Integration: the Case of Minority Rights in the Czech Republic and Romania * Melanie H

    28 Studies in Comparative International Development / Summer 2003 Democratization through European Integration: The Case of Minority Rights in the Czech Republic and Romania * Melanie H. Ram While scholars have tended to focus on domestic factors as most critical to the consolidation of democracy, the post-communist European Union (EU) candidate states have exhibited a unique confluence of domestic and foreign policies, due to their objective of EU membership. This article assesses and compares the impact of the EU on policy making in two diverse candidate states in their first decade of transition, focusing on minority rights protection as a fundamental requirement of both EU membership and a stable democracy. I find that the EU has played a princi- pal role in the reform process and democratic consolidation of candidate states, even in the controversial field of minority rights. The degree and nature of the EU’s impact, however, has depended in part on the activism of the particular minority, EU interest and pressure, EU Member States’ own domestic policies, and the persis- tence of racism in society. n the post-communist transitions in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), few Iissues have been as contentious as minority relations in multiethnic states. With minority discontent a potential threat to stability and democracy across Europe, the European Union (EU) has given considerable attention to minor- ity rights in CEE over the past decade and has used membership as an incen- tive to enforce compliance with human rights norms and agreements. While international institutions can be neither blamed nor credited for many of the developments in this region, the EU candidate countries in CEE appear to have been more successful at peacefully resolving minority rights concerns Dr.
