RESILIENCE AND REFORM IN THE ROMANIAN DEMOCRACY
RESILIENCE AND REFORM IN THE ROMANIAN DEMOCRACY

Summary/Abstract: Democracy is the defining term of human society at the beginning of the third millennium. Its victory over the different totalitarianisms of the XX century placed it in an ungrateful and, in the same time, paradoxical situation. Its situation is paradoxical because its success brought a major dilution of its „strong” meanings. So, for such many times, it became to mean almost anything in the political discourse. In the same time, its situation may be ungrateful because the same success made democracy be the only political desideratum of the entire human society, and each local failure affects its integrative message. Because of this, any discussion about democracy must start from the moment we manage to delimit the amount of expectations we have from it. The above considerations are much more valid when we talk about the Romanian democracy. Because of this, the present study tries to identify some mechanisms that may have as finality the resilience of democracy in Romania.
