Articles on Issue Theme

În primul rând, deşi în limbajul curent şi mai ales în cel jurnalistic termenii de organizaţie interguvernamentală (OIG) şi instituţie interguvernamentală sunt folosiţi interşanjabil, în jargonul ştiinţific există o diferenţă conceptuală marcantă, prelungind la nivel “internaţional” distincţia clasică “instituţii - organizaţii” punctată de D. North: instituţiile internaţionale sunt “legile jocului” în politica internaţională, constând în regulile juridice formale (i.e., dreptul internaţional) şi normele sociale informale (i.e., etica internaţională) ce guvernează comportamentul individual şi structurează interacţiunile dintre state şi alţi actori internaţionali; organizaţiile internaţionale sunt “jucătorii”, instanţe concrete ale anumitor aspecte ale instituţiilor internaţionale, ce vin cu atribute palpabile, precum clădirile, birocraţia şi bugetele, constituind acele grupuri de oameni şi guvernarea acţiunilor colective pentru a se produce bunuri – publice, private sau mixte – internaţionale.

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION AND ORGANIZATIONS [ORGANIZARE ŞI ORGANIZAŢII INTERNAŢIONALE]

In recent years, the main central banks of the world have applied an unconventional monetary policy, called quantitative easing. This policy is characterized by supplying the economy with large amounts of money and negative interest rates in order to stimulate demand growth and avoid the risk of deflation. It has also led to the improperly called “increase in the balance sheet of the central bank”.

The Seigniorage [Seniorajul]

This paper is going to argue that international political competition is a second-best option that can only keep political action (somewhat) in check, without imposing insurmountable obstacles in its path. Previous research has argued that the existence of several political jurisdictions allows citizens to vote with their feet and engage in international comparisons (yardstick competition).

Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss: A Short Comment on the Limits of International Political Competition

In this article, we analyse the degree of knowledge and awareness of international organizations regarding the national level of education and culture, focused on food security culture of the population. Based on our analyses, the central point of a possible and very useful National Strategy for Food Security should be education, and in particular the educational system in Romania.

The National Education System – A Basis of Consolidated Food Security Culture in Romania

It is becoming increasingly clear that the world is less homogeneous than some people want it to be and humanity needs to understand that geopolitics and geo-economics may be harsher than most of us thought. In this context, all Europeans need to remain committed to building closer relations and putting them at the centre of a renewed economic and social landscape.

We Need a More Responsive EU to the Messages Coming from Outside

In an era of an increasing number of trade agreements as well as an ever larger number of trade disputes, the European Union has focused on the former, betting on trade liberalisation as the key to increasing cooperation and economic growth. In this article, I shall make three arguments partaking to the European Union’s trade policy and focus on trade agreements.

European Trade Policy in Interesting Times

The purpose of this paper is to study whether the real convergence process is faster in the new member states than in the old member states of the EU. Based on the theoretical and empirical research, we reveal that, at country level, the new member states have registered a higher pace of convergence than the old ones. Nevertheless, we find that, at the regional level, the economic performance is not equally distributed.

Real Convergence in the European Union: Myth or Reality?

In this article, the authors want to bring about the “win-win” principle of the present accepted and widespread global business ethics in relation to a new economic doctrine, the ecomenics. They are preoccupied with finding a new economic philosophy proper to respond to the challenges of the XXI century. This new “ecumenical” dimension in the holistic sphere of the economy is called “ecomeny”.

Win-Win in the Ecomenics Dimension [Câştig-câştig în dimensiunea ecomeniei]

ISO 31000 is a framework developed by risk professionals offering standardized simple guidelines in order to achieve successful risk management policies. Each project is faced with uncertainty and risk. The main challenge is to maintain an acceptable level of risk for the scope of the Project. ISO tools become highly important for an organisation in the pursuit of its objectives.
