    POLICY EVALUATION IN EUROPE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF CURRENT TRENDS OF INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND METHODOLOGICAL CONVERGENCE
    (2025) MELENCIUC IOAN, Ioana Roxana
    Policy evaluation systems in the EU and EU Member States have evolved differently over time, due to different adoption patterns, institutional frameworks, and the integration of the EU acquis. This comparative analysis focuses on the evolution of these systems, especially covering the dynamics over the last decade (2015-2025). While the subject of an emerging evaluation culture at European level is set aside, the evolving influence of supranational frameworks through the transposition of regulations and practices from the European to the national level is considered the key element for a systemic understanding. The analysis reflects a comparative approach, conducted considering variables such as the level of centralization of processes, the legal framework, the development of evaluation capacity, the sophistication of methodological approaches, and the involvement of stakeholders in the evaluation processes. Even though the endeavour cannot be exhaustive, having evident limitations in mapping variables at the level of all Member States, it reflects relevant examples in a comparative manner, serving as a good tool for an overall understanding of public policy evaluation practices in the EU.

    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.
