THREE MARKS OF THE INVOLUTION OF THE ROMANIAN DEMOCRACY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Summary/Abstract: The contemporary liberal democracy starts from the premise that within the political act is the individual seen as a moral and rational human being. In the same time, a democracy is built on a consensual vision about society, a vision that sees the human society as an association that wants the mutual benefit, in order to have order and collaboration and not disorder and conflicts. Not least, democracy is built around a reasonable suspicion to any concentrated force of power that can manifest under any conditions and embodied in individuals, political or military group. All these lead to a triple speech: the one about the power of people is completed by the one about the pluralism, in the way that democracy is the political regime that promotes the competition between different groups of people. As the rule of people must operate so that anyone should have free access to power, the third speech aims at institutionalism, democracy being the political regime that has all the institutions that permit free access of everyone to power. This triple discourse is the key through which, in this study, three marks of the involution of the Romanian democracy are analyzed.
