THE EUROPEAN AND COMPARATIVE DIMENSION

There are some difficulties in defining European or comparative courses in the terms offered by the guidelines for this report. The most “Europeanised” types of courses seem to be grouped around the following fields:

• comparative law;
• international organisation;
• community law;
• comparative administration systems;
• European integration.

There are approximately two to four programmes that have courses that can be considered under these headings. In nearly all cases, they are core courses that are taught by full-time faculty.

Comparative courses in public administration programmes, especially courses that concern the EU, are slowly being introduced. These include courses in comparative administration systems, European integration, etc. Although this tendency is now fairly well developed in comparison to 1991, it is still not of major significance or importance. Nevertheless, the trend is to develop this part of the curriculum, especially because of the larger movement of the Romanian higher education system towards Western models and the need to modernise the Romanian public administration system.
