Funcţia publică în România: evoluţie legislativă şi practici instituţionale
Public office in Romania: legislative development and institutional practices

Summary/Abstract: Public office represents one of the traditional institutions of the public office in Romania, which managed to gather approximately two centuries of history related to regulation, if we consider that we have found any regulations in the matter since the period of the Organic Regulations of Moldavia and Muntenia, of 1831 and 1832, considered to represent the first documents deemed to be of a constitutional value on the Romanian territory. As a real “prima Donna” of the “scene” of the Romanian law, public office has been of concern not only for the legislator, but also for the doctrine and case law in the matter, and the political class has permanently had it in sight, moving between the acknowledgment, at least at the declaratory, programmatic level of the part of the public official for the smooth running of the State activity, as a whole, on the one hand, and the preparation of regulations in which the trend is felt to control its power, the career development and the involvement in the content of the administrative decision. Being adulated or ignored, public office remains the backbone of the State administration and activity and of the local communities in Romania, which should evolve alongside with them, maintaining its constants which ennoble its past and ensure the continuity of its role in the future.
