Annual Policy and Forecast Report - Romania 2010
2010


The Romanian Academic Society has launched on February 23 its Annual Analysis and Forecast report for 2010. Our experts are confident the crisis will be over by the end of 2010, but we need structural reforms.

 

We also relaunched our Policy Blog, with English translation for most articles.


Uniting with Kabul
BBC Monitoring/Romania libera - February 18, 2010

Will Romania unite with Moldova or not? Should we read Moscow's press, we might think that the unification is imminent and represents the new regional tsunami that will stir Eastern Europe. As always when the Russian propaganda is mobilizing Moldova's Russian-speaking citizens, we are not blameless. However, there is a long way to go from Basescu's blunder to Romania's current relations with Moldova.

Where Europe Ends: The borderlands of Europe should not be left behind
The Economist, Jan 21st 2010

“Where Europe Ends”, a powerful new film by Alina Mungiu Pippidi, a Romanian scholar and activist, shows the effect of the European Union’s expansion in dividing Europe, writes The Economist in its Jan 21 edition. The combination of physical decay and human dislocation is poignant. The footage of disintegrating churches, ruined public buildings, shabby homes and bumpy roads leaves the viewer in no doubt of both the region’s rich heritage and its dirt-poor present.

Our Revolution Isn't Finished Yet
An interview with Romanian political scientist Alina Mungiu-Pippidi, by IP Global, Jan. 2010

Alina Mungiu-Pippidi, director of a Romanian think tank promoting good governance, is cautiously optimistic about Romania’s future. Twenty years after the Christmas revolution, her country is in the European Union, “just where it should be,” she responds to Romania’s critics. Today Mungiu-Pippidi teaches Democratization Studies at the Hertie School of Governance.

Romania's Turnaround in the Energy Sector

The Boc government wants to create two integrated energy companies on the Romanian electricity market, bringing on the agenda an older idea of the Tariceanu cabinet. Thus, the saga of the energy sector restructuring continues, with an idea which is even worse than that of 2008. SAR sees only negative consequences - and not a single benefit from such a measure.

European elections 2009 - Why these results?
Alina Mungiu Pippidi

Why did Europe go right?
Why did so many Europeans refrain from voting?
Are the new Europeans worse Europeans, because they do not vote for the European Parliament?
Is this another step towards democratic deficit and therefore towards the end of the EU?
See the attached PDF document for the answers to these questions.
