PUBLIC ORDER AND ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITIES IN THE MODERN ERA. THE POLICE OF BUCHAREST IN THE MID-19TH CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: Our study intertwines information and bibliographic sources specific to the history of public administration and the history of the Romanian police, bringing to the attention of interested parties two fundamental concepts of these fields: public order and administrative authority, which we examine through the lens of a practical case: the police of Bucharest. In this context, we aim to briefly analyze the evolution of the structure and organization of the Bucharest police in the mid-19th century, taking into account the role and functions of the police in maintaining public order in Bucharest during this period, as well as the influence exerted by the political factors of that time on the public order authority. As a research method, we chose the comparative analysis of concepts associated with ”public order” and the qualitative analysis of the documents we had access to, starting from the historical study of the political context specific to the period analyzed: the mid-19th century.
