摘要：The current issue of the Acta Univiersitatis Sapientiae – Social Analysis is dedicated to offer a better understanding of some social processes that used to be characteristic of the transitional period in Central and Eastern Europe. The transition gives a special context to the social processes, as each society carries the burden of the past, leaving its mark on the future as well.Therefore, independently form the fact that the aspirations of the different segments of the society are either to be convergent or divergent with the Western European values, lifestyles, consumption models, carrier plans, etc., the past experiences forge the common scaffolding for these new aspirations.One of the major challenges of the transitional period was the limited capacity of the state to offer a strong social security for those who could not participate – for various reasons – in the labour market. As a consequence, a large amount of citizens came to experience a scenario that used to be unimaginable during the socialist times – unemployment, lack or inefficiency of social security revenues, the general disappearance of that semblance of social security particular to all socialist regimes
