Reconstruire le politique en Roumanie. Du consensus à la majorité

Abstract

Reconstruction of the Politics in Romania, From Consensus to Majority. The emergence from the totalitarian communism is longer and more complex than the simple restructure of the political institutions and the organisation of plural elections. The east-European societies are still missing the practise of democracy and the high level of socio-economical disparities originated by the transition pull down the population trust in the ability of the politics to assure a collective balance of powers. Lacking of a real democratically life, even before the Second World war, these countries are adopting fast reforms that do not allow them a radically re-adaptation. The parties' instability, their doctrinal vagueness and their strong dependency of the business circles are the reasons of an electoral banishment and an extension of the protest vote. In Romania, the changeover of the political power occurred later than in its Central European neighbours, the weakness of the civil society and of the local democracy making more difficult the task to construct a coherent collective project and to answer to the European integration requirements.
