Romania is known as a highly centralized country, where regional identities were strongly subject to uniformization. Cultural differences and identities have although survived even to the communist regime, often in an altered form. After 1989, in many parts of the country people began to rediscover their roots and the meaning of their local and regional identities. In the same time, the temptation and the benefits to takeover European values and behaviors were extremely high and therefore Romanians oriented their identification needs towards Europe. One of Romania’s region imbedded with a strong local identity, due to its mountainous specificity and its historical poverty, is the Ţara Moţilor (The Land of Moţi). Through this study we propose an analysis of the extent to which European values have influenced Romanian local values, in particular in the Land of Moţi, on the premise that the specific situation of this region predisposes to an orientation towards traditional values on the one hand, and to more openness and Europeanization, on the other hand. Both aspects are visible in the area, our analysis intending to clarify the reasons for one and the other orientations, in order to understand the identity issues of the area.

This paper focuses on the reform of the intergovernmental financial relations introduced in Italy in 2009 (law n. 42) as a spearhead of the regionalization process. So far, the new financial settings are far from being in force, due to the lack of implementing measures. The aim of the paper is to analyze the reform of the Italian financial system, approaching the subject matter both from the perspective of the sources of law, and from the substantial content of the legal provisions. The analysis will demonstrate that, notwithstanding the intentions, the austerity measures adopted by the State against the background of the economic crisis have translated in an awkward attempt to dismantle the progresses made in so far in the process of regionalization.

The Italian regionalism constantly reported to traditionalism all along the XIXth century, when it appealed to territorial, historical, linguistic or ethnical peculiarities having still a strong liberal-federalist basis. The regional formulas reflected best in the theories of the catholic federalists, moderates, republicans, but also in those of the left wing, the so called radicals. Socialist politics and generally speaking the ecclesiastic liberalism of the catholic church encouraged the federalist thinking towards local autonomy, administrative liberty, territorial decentralization, democracy, modernization. The new Italian regionalism, shaped in the context of intense post-war federalist approaches, had strong political-ideological implications, which developed mainly around the North-South discrepancies. The nowadays tendencies towards federalist structures such as fiscal or even secessionist federalism, extremely evident in the case of Spain, begin to materialize in Italy as well.
