It has struggled ever since to overcome the transition to democracy and to become a 'full-time' member of the Western democratic community of states. This book provides a contextual analysis of the Romanian constitutional system, with references to the country's troubled constitutional history and to the way in which legal transplantation has been used. The Constitution's grey areas, as well as the gap between the written constitution and the living one, will also be explained through the prism of recent events that cast a negative shadow upon the democratic nature of the Romanian constitutional system. The first chapters present a brief historical overview and an introduction to Romanian constitutional culture, as well as to the principles and general features of the 1991 Constitution. The chapters which follow explain the functioning of the institutions and their interrelations-Parliament, the President, the Government and the courts. The Constitutional Court has a special place in the book, as do local government and the protection of fundamental rights. The last chapter refers to the mechanisms and challenges of constitutional change and development."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aConstitutional systems of the world. 606 $aConstitutional law$zRomania 606 $aConstitutional history$zRomania 606 $aConstitutional & administrative law$2bicssc 610 0$aRomania 610 0$aConstitutional history$aRomania 610 0$aConstitutional law$aRomania 615 0$aConstitutional law 615 0$aConstitutional history 615 7$aConstitutional & administrative law 676 $a342.498 686 $a86.10$2bcl 686 $a86.44$2bcl 686 $aMG 94060$2rvk 686 $aPL 725$2rvk 686 $a7,41$2ssgn 700 $aSelejan-Gut?an$b Bianca$f1973-$01439497 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153102103321 996 $aThe constitution of Romania$93601714 997 $aUNINA
