Summary/Abstract: The First World War with its immediate consequences that had enflamed Europe, led to the adoption by the Romanian state of a unitary law regarding the civil servants. The Civil Servants General Statute of the 19th June 1923 was a long time desideratum of the Romanian state employees. The new juridical framework established equal rights (admissibility conditions, promotion, retirement - including mandatory retirement etc - for all the civil servants. Although this law had many shortcomings, it improved Romanian civil servants statute that other subsequent laws tried many times to escape from it. The aim of this article is to demonstrate that the study of the civil servants can give a lot of answers and a better understanding of the Interwar Romania and its bureaucracy.
