This volume focuses on the integration and globalization of
Romania, a prominent emerging market in South-Eastern Europe and
one of the major players in the securitization of the Black Sea and
the Eastern European border, as both a part of NATO since 2004 and
a fully integrated EU Member State since 2007. It will examine the
challenges the country has faced in its progression from
totalitarianism to democracy through several waves of reform
intended to update and streamline its political and economic
processes for success in the free-market capitalist arena. Having
learned the hard way about some of the key aspects of public
administration, Romania has learned a place for itself among the
diverse global players of Europe and beyond. The first section
reviews current perspectives on globalization and its impact in the
late 20th century. It has "flattened" the Earth, generating better
communication and exchanges than ever before, but also gathering a
fair amount of criticisms from commentators seeing it as little
else than neo-colonialism. Cooperative-administrative strategies
are being suggested instead, in order for new public administration
patterns to smoothly run in coordination with the globalized world.
In the second section, the European Union is described as a complex
multi-level socio-political entity, itself historically in turmoil
over its own style of rule - e.g. hierarchy vs. coordination,
integration vs. centralization, etc. - or even its own existence,
as the European dream seemed to be losing steam with the general
population of Europe several times in the previous century. Powers
and responsibilities of the European institutions and agencies are
also discussed. Thirdly, the recent history of Romania is
approached from the Europeanization context, starting from its
post-1989 days of confusion and of attempting to jumpstart
democracy. Eventually, it has to undergo a series of reforms and
internalize some principles fundamental to the EU in order for the
much-awaited accession to occur and its multiple effects to start
taking place. A country with a rich cultural heritage and
straddling multiple socio-political axes, Romania has plenty more
to offer in the new geostrategic, security and development contexts
of the 21st-century Europe. As such, this volume provides
inspiration for further research and practical application
opportunities on topics of local, European and global significance.
