Welcome to the first issue in 2016 of the Revista de Stiinte
Politice. Revue des Sciences Politiques (hereinafter RSP).
The research contents and the scientific interests of this issue
are dedicated to the encounter of the individual with the state an the
ideological and practical approaches of this level of analysis
considering the living dialectics of law-politics. The content of issue
49/2016 is focused in-between the key topics of the historical patterns,
social legacies and current legal challenges.
The articles gathered under the latest issue of RSP/ 2016 (issue
49/2016) offer an epistemological perspective of the micro and macro
understandings of post-communist proposals and consider experience as a
way to rationalize the basis of knowledge.
Thus, Eugenia Udangiu claims "the dual foundations of
knowledge and the critical rationalism" aiming at "considering
a new attempt at compromise between the opposite positions, based on
elements of the philosophy of mind". This approach individualizes
the maximalist and minimalist rationalism or empiricism by
conceptualizing and "equally interacting with World1 and with
World2".
In line with these comparative approaches, Cristina Murgu brings
new understandings to the legal conflict of constitutional nature in the
European space. Murgu argues on the manner in which "the main
reasons why only the Constitutional Courts or Federal Tribunals can be
invested, by certain institutions, with the settlement of the legal
conflicts of constitutional nature".
Irina Gvelesiani places the terminological pecularities of the
fiducie and fiducia within the linguistically challenged legal area of
jurisdiction. The article bends over the "the common law trust has
become extremely popular since the beginning of the previous
century" considering the French origins of the legal analysis.
Anca Parmena Olimid proposes a new management of the "concept
mapping of civil society" considering "the relational analysis
of its targeted topics for public participation and democratization
practice" while, within the same field of applying the law,
Alexandra Oanta (Nacu) exercises an institutional analysis over the
public administration by the People's Advocate.
As the journal reader shall consider, within the public involvement
and citizen participation within the democratization logic of
post-communism, the discussion over the personal data and fundamental
rights is drafted as a means to the "protection of individuals with
regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such
data, as a response to the EU legislation" (Marioara Maxim).
Taking a brief leap into the taxation management and organizational
factors and behaviors, the article signed by Narcis Mitu discusses
"the potential for behavioural research to contribute to better tax
collection and administration". Within her analythical endeavour,
Cristina Stanciu examines "the issue of risks related to
contracts" starting from the assumption that "analyzing and
defining risk, in general, was not pursued, in our juridical literature
until the adoption of the current Civil Code" in the Romanian
legislation.
Moving forward towards the IR analysis, Oncel Sencerman reconsiders
the Russian diaspora as "a means of Russian foreign policy"
focusing on "the Russian speaking communities in the former Soviet
Republics". Valon Krasniqi establishes the legal and practical
basis of the political parties in Kosovo considering the historical
patterns and institutional establishment.
The communication practices of post-communist Romania are further
discovered as Antonia Matei by analysing the collective memory and media
commemoration in the last twenty years. Camelia Cmeciu builds on arguing
"the EU and non-EU citizens' communication strategies of
(de)legitimating Turkey as a EU member".
Within the first RSP issue of 2016 the Center of Post-Communist
Political Studies (CEPOS/ CESPO) launches the Call for Papers for the
7th Edition of the International Conference After Communism. East and

We enable that the main task of the issue 49/2016 of RSP is to

analysing mutual trust, confidence and public involvement.

2016 (no. 49, 50, 51 and 52) by saluting our authors' innovative
researches and studies and presenting our gratitude for their inspiring
solutions in issue 49/ 2016!
Wishing you all the best,
