We have also analysed the treaty reforms performed within the EU (Nice Treaty and European Convention), necessary for correcting the democratic deficit and for reaching the objective of United States of Europe. The conclusion of this paper is that there is the need of a strong political will and states have Transylvanian Review to go beyond their national pride in order to reach of Administrative Sciences, an effective governance. 22E/2008 pp. 73-91 73 In order to achieve an institutional balance able to face the rivalries between the member states and to cover the deficit of the Union’s external image in international relations, it was necessary to accomplish an efficient governance which is connected to the inter-institutional relations, the European institutions relations with the member states, the share of votes within the council of Ministers, the majority vote and not last the more active participation of the European citizen to the community decision- making process. The question which emerged was the definition of this concept meaning in the arena of the relations of power, either inside a State, a company or an international organization. The term was borrowed from the science of economics, more exactly from the culture of the companies that wished to reach an increased efficiency on the world market arena.

  • BADULESCU Claudia Thesis
    MASTER IN ADVANCED E UROPEAN AND INTERNAT IONAL STUDIES ANGLOPHONE BRANCH 2013 – 2014 The paradox of Europe’s borders An analysis of Romania’s state of play in the Schengen accession process Author: Claudia Badulescu Thesis advisor: MATTHIAS WAECHTER Istanbul – Nice – Berlin 2014 The paradox of Europe’s borders An analysis of Romania’s state of play in the Schengen accession process Author: CLAUDIA BADULESCU Thesis advisor: MATTHIAS WAECHTER Abstract: One of the most serious challenges to the European unity is represented by the increased structural, political and implementation diversity brought up by the new EU members. The prospects of enlarging the continent’s borders by fully integrating Romania and Bulgaria in the Schengen area ignited controversial debates that questioned the practicability of EU’s motto “Unity in diversity”. This paper analyses the unique political dynamics that accompanied Romania in the Schengen accession process. Since 2011 Romania has been caught in an indeterminate state between having fulfilled the technical requirements and becoming a fully-fledged Schengen member. The contradictory behaviour of the Council combined with the vague explanations given by the EU officials regarding the decision to delay Romania’s accession signal an urgent need to overcome the internal mistrust in the EU’s institutions. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to analyse the legal grounds of the reasons invoked for denying Romania’s accession to the Schengen zone. I concluded the paper with essential recommendations for both the Romanian and the European administration that could be used to find a solution to this political deadlock. Keywords: Schengen, borders, technical criteria, corruption, identity, populism, Roma’s malintegration, migration, coupled accession, mistrust, securitization, structural reforms, development 1 Table of contents List of Abbreviations ...........................................................................................................

Une fois la Guerre Froide terminée, l’environnement de sécurité en Europe a changé d’une manière décisive, étant donné que les Etats ont officiellement déclaré qu’ils cessent de se considérer les uns les autres en tant qu’ennemis ; pourtant, de nouveaux défis et risques pour la stabilité et la sécurité du continent et des pays individuels ont été identifiés.
