Articles on Issue Theme

În răspăr cu America relativ climato-sceptică (cumva “vindecată” din stilou în prima zi de mandat a preşedintelui Biden), Uniunea Europeană şi-a arogat rolul de portdrapel planetar pe acest front prin Pactul verde european (Green Deal), prezentat ca “o foaie de parcurs menită să asigure durabilitatea economiei UE, prin transformarea provocărilor legate de climă şi de mediu în oportunităţi în toate domeniile de politică şi prin garantarea unei tranziţii care să fie echitabilă pentru toţi şi favorabilă incluziunii tuturor”. Asociat cu beneficii necuantificabile, documentul vine şi cu o notă de plată deloc neglijabilă pentru cetăţeanul-contribuabil-consumator comunitar: costă peste 1000 de miliarde de euro, bugetaţi din preaplin de Uniune. Doar că şi beneficiile, şi costurile sunt asimetric distribuite.

INTELLECTUAL CLIMATE CHANGE: BEYOND THE RHETORIC [SCHIMBĂRILE CLIMATULUI INTELECTUAL: DINCOLO DE RETORICĂ]

The Anthropocene is a proposed geological epoch dating from the commencement of significant human impact on Earth’s geology and ecosystems, including, but not limited to, anthropogenic climate change. While this is not an academically established definition, as of yet, it is said to have begun in the 1950s. This article posits that the concept is erroneous in at least two ways.

Revisiting the Anthropocene Dogma: Back to Scholarly Scepticism [Dogma Antropocenului în reevaluare: înapoi la scepticismul educat]

In the development of this study, we have considered the suggestion of some facilities to encourage the research-development-innovation activity within government institutions, universities and high-profile companies, as they also benefit from being able to self-finance their activity and, therefore, they need an insurance as well as an incentive to further encourage efforts and investments.

Keywords: sustainability, development, research, environment, innovation, investment

New Economic Thinking on Current Sustainability Transformations

Recent studies show that the investment decision starts from the market size, which is the most relevant criterion for investors as the market will absorb the products and services. Companies are less interested in other issues, often referring only to the GNI indicator, as it is considered a relevant benchmark for making direct investments, without addressing the principles of sustainable development.

The Impact of Foreign Investments on Sustainable Developments [Impactul investiţiilor străine asupra dezvoltărilor durabile]

Contemporary research suggests that the level of pollutants emitted into the atmosphere can be significantly reduced by employing environmental policies and strategies regarding the use of renewable energy sources, alternative fuels, high energy efficiency plants and equipment, as well as the implementation of a program for afforestation and creation of green spaces for CO2 absorption.

The Impact of Artificial Forests on Air Quality. Principles of Sustainable Development [Impactul împăduririlor artificiale asupra calităţii aerului. Principii de dezvoltare durabilă]

This paper stems from the conviction that communication via mass media is very important in order to perform a valuable new business model, as organizations need to cope with sharp changes to their micro and macroeconomic equilibria and with increased intensity in creativity at the level of economic processes, while raising awareness in markets and collecting feedback from stakeholders.

Keywords: communication, business model, infrastructure, scientific research, technological challenges

The Communication Dimension of the Business Model Applied to the ELI-NP Project

The present paper analyses the manner in which the implementation of the measures assumed by Romania during the pre-accession period (NATO and EU) has influenced Romania’s economic development in recent years. In this regard, the topic is approached from the point of view that the costs requested by “partners” and supported by Romania were justified by subsequent results.

Keywords: Romania, EU, NATO, economic development, security climate, terrorism

How Has Romania’s Economic Development Been Affected by NATO and EU Accession? Costs Incurred in the Field of National Security for Meeting the Criteria Required by Partners

I share the opinion expressed by Mugur Isărescu in the “Argument” prefacing Adrian Constantinescu’s work, according to which the content of this book (analysis of mechanisms and instruments used to stimulate exports) highlights the essence of the author’s concerns for promoting foreign trade as a driving force of national economies in the contemporary world.
