"This book examines the constitutional history of Transylvania, a region of Central Europe that has experienced a compelling series of historical events and been governed by a variety of ancient, medieval, and modern entities, as well as its own peoples, who from time to time have jointly or separately exercised their right to self-governance. The book's main goal is to provide, for the first time in English, a comprehensive source for those interested in the variety of states, constitutional and public legal orders which have succeeded one another during Transylvania's tumultuous history. It serves to underline the region's uniqueness as a space where (for better or worse) several nationalities, multiple religions and varied cultures have had to find a way to get along, under the pressures of external state and constitutional orders. It seeks to show both the positive and the negative solutions found, which advanced or hindered this goal of organised coexistence"-- Provided by publisher.

This book deals with six trials, conducted by the Romanian state against Jewish key officials employed in state-owned import-export companies between 1950 and 1960. It begins with a presentation of the political realities of Romania following the Communist Party's rise to power, in particular those regarding its relationship with Romania's Jews and Gheorghiu-Dej's policy of National Communism. Rozenberg describes the criminal procedure used in the staged economic trials follows and then examines this procedure based on the legal system of the period, as exemplified by the six analyzed trials. The Romanoexport Jewish officials' trial is analyzed in depth, as the case study of the whole book. This book concludes by bringing to light two phenomena that dissipate some mystique surrounding the events: first, the state's practice of using its legal system as a means of oppressing the population; and second, the stereotypical image of "The Jew" which the regime in Romania developed. Despite its supposed anti-religiosity, it held on to centuries-old prejudices against Jews as pariahs, with supposed allegiance to foreign elements preferred over their surrounding society, even to the point of betraying and exploiting their own country.

A close examination of an understudied European Union member state such as Romania reveals that, since 1989, post-Communist state and non-state actors have adopted a wide range of methods, processes and practices of working through the Communist past. Both the timing and the sequencing of these transitional justice methods prove to be significant in determining the efficacy of addressing and redressing the crimes of 1945 to 1989. In addition, there is evidence that some of these methods have directly facilitated the democratization process, while the absence of other methods has undermined the rule of law. This is the first volume to overview the complex Romanian transitional justice effort by accessing secret archives and investigating court trials of former Communist perpetrators, lustration, compensation and rehabilitation, property restitution, the truth commission, the rewriting of history books, and unofficial truth projects.

• Introduction
• Legal inheritance and family in the civil code of 1864
• Legal inheritance and family in the Romanian civil code of 2009
• Final conclusions.

"[The authors'] objective was the gathering of a portfolio of conclusions upon which we tried to establish the degree of efficiency of a largely transplanted legislation upon the XIXth-XXth centuries conceptions and realities of the Romanian society, as well as the quality of the response prepared by the new civil legislation in the XXIst. The research has an inter- and also an intra-disciplinary approach and through its connection with the recent enactment of the New Civil Code, by seeking to verify whether this acknowledges the Romanian specific reality within the European Union. It analyzes the tradition of the family relations in the Romanian society of the XIXth and beginning of the XXth, by taking into account the historical and sociological factors, as well as the influence exerted by the religion. As a consequence, it measures the effects of a legislation that was massively borrowed on the basis of a program that was politically constructed upon the philosophical beliefs derived from the Illuminism and we will be able to appreciate and explain its grounding. Finally, the research tries to answer some specific questions: what family model is the probable triumphant within the reform projects stemming from the interwar period? How did the case receive law the 1944 reform of the successional situation of the surviving spouse? Have the soviet-inspired legislative measures of 1954 reached their declared ideological purpose to ensure an equitable freedom within the family and the achievement of the co-interest of the spouses? Have these measures had any influence over the legal successional devolution? Finally, the research seeked for the current meaning of the notion of family in Romania (and elsewhere): its definition, composition, the configuration of the personal rapports within its ambit. The answers that were uncovered led to identifying the patrimonial consequences which may arise. The final purpose was to obtain results which would allow for a critical analysis, undergone in complete understanding of the solutions promoted by the new Romanian civil code."-- Back cover.

• Introduction
• Law before communism : modernity and the authoritarian drive
• A criticism of the heaven : class struggle and the law in theory and practice
• Revolution under siege : law, violence and marxist legal theory
• Revolution betrayed : the great retreat and the enduring legal canon
• The discourse of the master : war, law and the communist takeover
• Law as state-truth : the law-preserving violence and the limits of communism
• Exit communism : legal amnesia and the return of the repressed
• Conclusion.

More than twenty-five years after the collapse of the Socialist bloc, the nature of the regimes in Eastern Europe between 1945 and 1989 continues to evade the attempts of political theorists and scholars of post-communism to define and classify them. Drawing on philosophical inquiry, jurisprudential analysis and intellectual history, this book traces the impact of communist ideology and practice on legal thought: from its critical roots in the midst of the nineteenth century to its reactionary stand in the later years of the twentieth. Exploring how the communist experience - both in its revolutionary and authoritarian guises - has been articulated within the legal theoretical field, the book addresses two central theoretical lacunae fostered by the historiography of authoritarianism in Central and Eastern Europe: the status of law, and its relationship to the broader ideological framework legitimising authoritarian regimes. Moving beyond the limits of the contemporary discourse on communism - particularly as it is channelled through transitional justice and memory studies - Cosmin Cercel develops a theoretical framework that is able to uncover law's complicity with the extreme ideologies that dominated Central and Eastern Europe. For it is, he argues, in its recourse to legal concepts that the communist experience raises important jurisprudential questions for our contemporary understanding of law, the limits of state sovereignty, and law's relationship to historical violence.

• Legislation screening by sector.

During the past few years, Romania has recovered well from the global financial crisis. However, the country still faces structural problems, including poor competitiveness, that limit economic growth. Against this background, the OECD Competition Assessment Project analysed legislation in three sectors of the Romanian economy: construction, transport and food processing. Using the OECD Competition Assessment Toolkit to structure the analysis, the OECD identified 227 problematic regulations and made 152 specific recommendations on legal provisions that should be amended or repealed. This report identifies the sources of those benefits and, where possible, provides quantitative estimates. If these recommendations are implemented, there should be benefits to consumers in Romania and to the Romanian economy in all three sectors.
