Departamentul de Relații Internaționale și Integrare Europeană este domeniul fondator al SNSPA.
Departamentul de Relații Internaționale și Integrare Europeană a fost gândit în aşa fel încât sa asigure o strânsă legătură între pregătirea teoretică și practica executată în sfera politicii externe, de securitate sau apărare, dezvoltând soluții capabile să realizeze conexiunea dintre zona academică și cea de expertiză.
Departamentul de Relații Internaționale și Integrare Europeană organizează programe masterale în domeniul relațiilor internaționale, diplomației, studiilor de securitate și studiilor europene, care permit angajarea în domenii diverse, în spațiul public, dar și în cel privat. Corpul profesoral al Departamentului de Relații Internaționale și Integrare Europeană este format din cadre didactice cu o îndelungată expertiză în domeniul relațiilor externe, diplomație, instituții de securitate națională, organizații nonguvernamentale internaționale, reputați practicieni sau personalități ale vieții publice românești și europene.

Why have our societies become so deeply divided, which is inimical to democracy? How do growing distributional conflicts impact governance structures? Why does fake news take often precedence over truth? What should be done to avert that the rule of law is undermined by the rule of the mob? It may be that the current crises (public health and economic) are harbingers of a new turning point in the evolution of capitalism. This evolution is interlocked with cycles of ideas, of public policies, and institutional change. A mixed economy took shape over time, in which a public sector and a private sector cohabit, based on market dynamism, entrepreneurship, with the shares held by the two sectors shifting in accordance with historical and local conditions. The debate that has started after the outbreak of the last financial crisis is about the path of capitalism, of the mixed economy, of democracy. We need to steer the course of events in the right direction via wise policies. Safeguarding democracy relates to the urgency to deal with climate change as an existential threat.
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

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.

This paper examines the Romanian economy and its version of capitalism from a long-term perspective and in a broad context. It focuses on economic prospects in the face of a legacy of backwardness and the endurance of domestic weaknesses, in the context of the Great Recession and the eurozone crisis. Romania has a pressing need to mobilise its internal resources and absorb EU funds on a much greater scale so that it can enhance economic growth and mitigate external shocks. To this end, Romania needs to undertake thorough reforms in the public sector, combat rent-seeking and waste, foster domestic savings. The functioning of institutions and of taxation should convey a sense of fairness to citizens. Romania needs to rethink its growth model. Romania must improve its education system by increasing the level of resources assigned to education and creating coherent policies to strengthen institutional capacities and to improve quality standards. The Romanian economy would benefit significantly from EU policies that are more responsive to the economic and social fractures revealed by the current crisis. Not least, financial markets have to be tamed in Europe and elsewhere if they are to serve economies.
