Summary/Abstract: In a moment of great questions regarding the future of the European Union and the impact of predicted reforms – which happen to overlap the Centenary of the end of World War I, and for the Romanian nation in particular the Centenary of the Great Union – a reflection on the position of Romania in the current European political process is necessary, from the perspective of theories and instruments of the international relations. Both the realist and the liberal approach underline the crucial significations of current evolutions, where the ascension of revisionist, nationalist, protectionist and Eurosceptic currents confront ever more visibly the consecrated paradigm of the postwar European Project and of the global liberal order. Minilateralism becomes, as days go by, a concept with as many opportunities, as challenges and risks. This endeavour proposes to investigate the solidity of Romania’s articulation in the system of the bilateral and multilateral relations within the European Union, related to the dynamic of the relations between the Great European and global Powers and to the regional arrangements in Central Europe.
