In this paper I offer a possible explanation of the early development of the Environmental Policy of the European Union by resorting to the historical institutionalist paradigm. I hold that the evolution of this policy, purportedly peculiar in that it was basically absent from the original treaties, can be adequately explained by this paradigm, due to the fact that it can illustrate how the original institutional arrangement led ultimately to consequences that were far from what the actors involved in setting up that arrangement intended. An important caveat concerns the fact that throughout the paper I use a specific meaning of historical institutionalism, i.e. one that is fully compatible with the introduction of ideas and norms in the explanans.

This article discusses the contribution of the theory of developmentalism by the alternative ways that it proposes in development area. This theory generated much criticism and demonstrated ambiguity, but it has gained importance by focusing on imperative of social change. It becomes important the ideological dispute between the two rival systems: the capitalist development model, proposed by demo-liberal West, based on Max Weber’s conception of capitalist development and the communist model that proposed the solution of socialist growth. The marxist-leninist theory centered on class struggle formed the basis for the dependence theories. This new approach in the aria of comparative politics goes beyond the descriptive comparativism, limitated to a single case and it focused on different areas of political, social, cultural, economic and not just geographically.

The Superior Council of Magistracy represent a cornerstone of the Romanian court management system. This responsibility is partly shared with the Ministry of Justice. The reform of the court management system in Romania has been and still is disputable, the main actors being on one hand the magistrates and on the other the Ministry of Justice. While observing this „dispute“ we may discover a third actor, namely the European Union, who has entered scene in the context of Romania’s European integration. This research is looking to plausibly explain which was the part played by the EU and how did it influence the above mentioned reform, with special emphasis on the Superior Council of Magistracy.

Before being an element of constitutional order, the judicial system is a public service. Arbitrating disputes, conflict resolution and prosecuting crimes are, first of all, valuable functions for the community. This article presents the Romanian judiciary especially from this perspective. The relation between politics and the judiciary was particularly problematic in recent years. The judicial institutions’ struggle for autonomy was accompanied by unprecedented political crises. Yet, the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM) continuously encouraged institutional reform, initiating very active anti-corruption policies, as well as the implementation of new civil and criminal procedure rules. At the same time, we can notice the rapid increase in the volume of new causes recorded by courts of law in civil matters, which entails the risk of severe deterioration of public legal services and requires an appropriate administrative response.

While the first part of the article examine the action of the various European institutions within the new constitutional architecture, the second part will cover some axes needed which could be followed by the Union starting with the new term. In the context of the economic and financial crisis, the first European institutional cycle under the terms of the Lisbon Treaty –2009-2014, became an important challenge for the application of the provisions concerning the functioning of the European institutions. An objective assessment of the ways regarding the practical implementation of the Treaty must take into consideration the negative influence of the economic crisis upon the decisions assumed by the high national and European responsibles.

This article aims to analyze the role of e-street in protest movements and to show the performative limits of virtual activism. To what extent is virtual activism efficient? What are the main difficulties in associating the contemporary online forms of activism with the classical forms of political participation (particularly when they are not followed by street movements, official letters, public statements etc.)? The study tackles these questions based on a case study, namely: the reaction of Romanian virtual communities to the EU refusal to include Romania in the Schengen area. The analysis will show the increasing role of virtual communities in the articulation of the Romanian protest movements, particularly in what concerns setting the media’s agenda and raising public awareness. Nevertheless, these new forms of virtual activism remain without visible outcome when they are not endorsed by classical forms of participation.

In December 1972, the Romanian Government signed the agreement of accession to the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. In the following years, Romania received investment credits and, consequently, overcame the growth rate of several capitalist states. Nevertheless, the Communist regime in Bucharest chose to expand the economic sectors highly energy intensive and heavily polluting. As the ’70s oil crisis led to a worldwide energy crisis, the Romanian industry faced difficult times in terms of effectiveness, competitiveness and external costs of environmental pollution. It had been built coal-electrical and great siderurgical & chemical plants, and both caused extremely air pollution. At the end of the ’80s, Romania recorded high pollution indicators of soil, subsoil, water and within the atmosphere down to the evacuation of residual waste and lack of investments in filtering of industrial stack.
