    The Coronavirus Crisis and the Economic Crisis. Is Capitalism at a new turning point?
    (SNSPA, 2020-12) Dăianu, Daniel
    Mankind will prevail in the fierce war against the coronavirus, a hidden, treacherous foe that has been attacking randomly and leaving many human deaths behind. The struggle with this pandemic has an end in sight because we have effective weapons to combat it now, such as vaccines which are be used on a grand scale, worldwide. We will overcome the severe economic downturn as well; but this crisis will leave deep scars, given that economies are witnessing sweeping changes. These changes, adding to tensions and intricate issues and policy dilemmas that date back prior to the Pandemic and the current economic crisis, call for introspection, examination of economies’ functioning and a revisiting of public policies. The financial crisis that erupted a decade ago prodded social scientists and policy-makers to think about serious problems that afflict modern economies. In the text below I hook up with ideas that I have expressed in recent years and extrapolate them to the fallout from the current crises

    Trade Policy-The New Backbone Of The Transatlantic Relationship?
    (SNSPA, 2022-12) Ghigiu, Alexandru Mihai ; Nunweiller-Bălănescu, Alexandra
    The Trump presidency put additional strains on the transatlantic partnership and diminished trust between traditional allies. While its administration adopted a series of protectionist measures together with clear "America First" and "Buy American" policies, the EU undertook multiple steps to protect itself in similar ways. Trade continued to flow in those 4 years, but under more hostile regulations and under the auspices of growing international crises and tensions. Biden's victory marked a moment of hope and optimism for the restauration of the transatlantic bond, as he is an advocate for closer US-EU ties and for a more traditional diplomacy. As the first two years of Biden's term have proven, there can be no return to "business as usual" after Trump, after COVID and during a full-scale war waged by Russia on the European continent. What is to be found is another way to do "business" and so far, there seems to be a preference for smaller, sectorial or sub-sectorial negotiations on specific topics/issues. The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) has been (apparently) completely abandoned, while the new US-US Trade and Technology Council (TTC) brings some new promises.
