    Shaping Romania's National Recovery and Resilience Plan: An Analysis of the Involvement of Civil Society Organizations
    (UJ MANDATUM KONYVKIADO, 2024) Toderaș, Nicolae
    During the shaping of Romania’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), an environment conducive to the creation of institutional arrangements for socio-centric governance was established. However, these arrangements were not enduring and could not modify the specific path dependency of state-centric governance arrangements. This research presents and analyzes perceptions regarding the extent and way Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) were engaged in the shaping process of Romania’s NRRP. Based on semi-structured interviews with the relevant CSOs, factors that have influenced the involvement of CSOs in shaping Romania’s NRRP about other European fund programming processes, the lessons learned from this process, as well as possibilities of enhancing the current governance regime specific to European funds management were examined.

    SYNCHRONIZING THE EUROPEAN SEMESTER WITH EU FUNDS ALLOCATION: ROMANIA’S CASE IN DRAFTING THE NATIONAL RECOVERY AND RESILIENCE PLAN
    (Department of International Relations and European Integration of the National University of Political Studies and Public Administration, 2025) Toderaș, Nicolae
    Since its introduction in 2010, the European Semester has generated an extensive process of synchronizing EU policies with the domestic policy agendas of the Member States. This has contributed to the Europeanization of domestic public policies in the Member States. In this context, the article analyses how, during the drafting phase of Romania’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan, the synchronization of the European Semester with the internal agenda of reforms and investments was achieved. Structured in four sections, the article begins with an overview of the context in which the European Semester emerged and the evolution of the Open Method of Coordination. It then analyses the transition from the OMC to the European Semester, highlighting changes in the coordination of Member States. The third section explores the alignment of the European Semester with the allocation of European funds in the first year of the Recovery and Resilience Facility. The final section provides a case study on the development of Romania’s NRRP, highlighting challenges and lessons learned.

    The perspectives of the public policies and programs evaluation system in Romania in the context of implementing the National Recovery and Resilience plan
    (National University of Political Studies and Public Administration - Department of International Relations and European Integration, 2023-12) Toderaș, Nicolae
    The implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Facility boosts the EU’s power to transform Member States, especially in the field of public management. The conditioning of the Member States to link proposed investments in their plans in order to overcome the effects of the crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic, but also to boost the implementation of the Green Pact on structural reforms transforms this temporary instrument in the main driver for deepening European integration. In the case of Romania, one of the important results pursued as part of the reforms related to the public administration sector, correlated with those related to the reform of public finances, refers to the improvement of the planning system of public policies and programs in accordance with budgetary scheduling. In this context, it is expected that following the implementation of these structural reforms, the national system for public policies and programs evaluation will strengthen significantly. The article aims to discuss certain aspects related to the dynamics of the use of public policies and programs evaluations in various stakes specific to the public management sector. Thus, in the first part of the article, the dynamics of the institutionalization of the national system for public policies and programs evaluation is described and analyzed. In the second part, the strengthening premises of the national evaluation system for public intervention are analyzed as a result of the implementation of a package of structural reforms which are specific to strategic planning and public management.
