Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes empirically, in Romania’s case, the relationships between political regime durability (dependent variable) and economic development & form of government (independent variables). The analysis is based on the construction of a linear “Probit Model” and the data set is covering the period 1926-2007. The main results show that, in Romania, the political regime longevity is one in which the democratic system is very strong, the economic development is high and the state is organized in the form of monarchy. By exception, a political regime may have longevity even if the political system is dictatorial, the economic development is insignificant and the state organization (monarchy or republic) has minimal influence.
