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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Economics,$x2191-5504 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aMarkets 606 $aPublic administration 606 $aEuropean Economic Community literature 606 $aPublic policy 606 $aEmerging Markets/Globalization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525010 606 $aPublic Administration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34030 606 $aEuropean Integration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33010 606 $aPublic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aMarkets. 615 0$aPublic administration. 615 0$aEuropean Economic Community literature. 615 0$aPublic policy. 615 14$aEmerging Markets/Globalization. 615 24$aPublic Administration. 615 24$aEuropean Integration. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 676 $a327.40498 700 $aVaduva$b Sebastian$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0941426 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254664003321 996 $aBetween Globalization and Integration$92127148 997 $aUNINA
