Summary/Abstract: Corruption represents one of the predominantly encountered problems in contemporary times. The extent to which corruption cases draw the attention of competent state authorities is cause for concern, especially given the detrimental impact they have on society as a whole. Over the course of time, the ambition to counteract the phenomenon has prompted a wide array of doctrinal debates, which have led, among other things, to an intense normative activity by the national legislator - and beyond. At a supranational level, corruption has sparked intense interest among states, leading to the development of certain doctrines aimed at harmonizing national legislations. It is self evident that such a widespread phenomenon as corruption destabilizes not only the internal social fabric of individual states, but also the European community, undermining core European values. As a result, various European (or international) conventions come to aid states in developing a coordinated front against corruption - often prompting changes to domestic legal frameworks, as is the case in Romania.
