Clientelism: Electoral Forms and Functions in the Romanian Case Study

Clientelism: Electoral Forms and Functions in the Romanian Case Study

Author(s): Clara Alexandra Volintiru / Language(s): English / Issue: 01/2012

Keywords: clientelism; elections; patronage; corruption; Romania

The ambition of the study is to provide a description of the forms and functions of clientelism, thus looking at the differences between “rural” forms of clientelism that still rely on familiar brokerage, and their implications in terms of the power status of local bosses, and the “urban” forms of transactional exchanges, that are less efficient by comparison, and require more innovative monitoring mechanisms. In order to assess the likelihood of structurally embedded long-term clientelistic relationships, which take the form of patronage, or discretionary use of state resources, the second part of the empirical analysis uses such proxies as the levels of corruption or political incohesiveness. The present paper serves as a starting point for further research on these more pervasive and more contentious aspects of clientelism within state structures.

How Can Romania Meet European Requirements in the Field of Energy?

How Can Romania Meet European Requirements in the Field of Energy?

Author(s): Corina Murafa / Language(s): English / Issue: 01/2012

Keywords: liberalization; EU infringement; energy; OPCOM; Romania; transparency

The Romanian energy market suffers from structural flaws, which pre-date the beginning of liberalization. Although the restructuring process by breaking-up vertical monopolies (damaging for competition and for competitiveness at the same time) started off relatively early - 1998 for electricity, 2000 for gas, uncompetitive commercial practices and damaging administrative decisions kept persisting. A brief diagnosis of how the Romanian electricity market runs shows that structural flaws still exist. Over 75% of wholesale electricity trade takes place over-the-counter (outside the specialized trading platform OPCOM), via so-called bilateral contracts, be they negotiated or regulated. In and by themselves, bilateral contracts are important for ensuring trade predictability for large industrial consumers. Although there is a specialized market for bilateral contracts inside OPCOM, only 8% of the entire electricity traded inside OPCOM is represented by this market segment.
