摘要：In an attempt to answer such a delicate question, we try to present the characteristics of Romanian
rural economy, underlining its political, social, demographic, cultural, and even religious specificity.
It is a thorough analysis of the diminution of the force and impact of the rural traditions, of the
inflexion in the dynamics of rural overpopulation, of the reduction of the aversion in comparison
with the urban, which confers a new identity to the Romanian countryside. The rural economy is
also made up of the aggregation of the peasant｡ｯs economic behaviour and attitudes. The new ruralurban
relationships change the identity-perishability antinomy. We try to use statistical arguments
and to establish some important axes of the new programmes and projects, apt to reveal through
the urban-rural convergence and through the downgrading of the discrepancies between the two
kinds of environment.
