	Romania (09/06)
		Romania's location gives it a continental climate, particularly in Moldavia and Wallachia (geographic areas east of the Carpathians and south of the Transylvanian Alps, respectively) and to a lesser extent in centrally located Transylvania, where the climate is more moderate.
		Romania was an ally of the Entente and the U.S. in World War I, and was granted substantial territories with Romanian populations, notably Transylvania, Bessarabia, and Bukovina, after the war.
		Romania is a country of considerable potential: rich agricultural lands; diverse energy sources (coal, oil, natural gas, hydro, and nuclear); a substantial, if aging, industrial base encompassing almost the full range of manufacturing activities; an educated, well-trained work force; and opportunities for expanded development in tourism on the Black Sea and in the mountains.

	East European Constitutional Review
		The irony of the November elections in Romania was that the economic analyses and indicators issued during the months leading up to the vote suggested that the country was starting to emerge from the deep, three-year recession that had coincided with the rule of the centrist coalition led by the Democratic Convention (DC).
		The single most crucial instance of this is that, by mid-2000, Prime Minister Isarescu had managed, for the first time in Romania’s postcommunist history, to establish a solid institutional anchor for the country’s economic policies and thus to create an unprecedented premise for their stability and continuity.
		As a result, Romania’s planning was totally dependent on the EU, even though it was unable to develop a clear strategy and a plan of action that would give practical impetus to this dependence.
