		During the communist regime regional issues were not scoring high on the Party/government’s agenda and regional disparities, already significant at the very beginning of the 90´s, have been growing during the transition.
		A regional tier would better represent the interests of the local authorities and their interests at the higher level, and would unite them in implementing regional projects dealing with local but regional problems.
		The first prerequisite for a successful regional policy is the re-designing of the (NUTS II) macro-regions, operation to be effectuated by specialists in the field and based on scientific reliable and relevant criteria, including eventually the cultural one.

	Daily carries Transylvanian intellectuals' memorandum on "Romania of regions" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		We consider that the basic principle of regional construction is that of allotting certain administrative and political prerogatives to the territorial entities, rather than to national or ethnic communities, because in the regional model the latter are benefiting from political and judicial guarantees that ensure their specific interests.
		We believe that besides granting political, economic, and cultural attributions to the regional authorities, which the latter should exercise in concordance with the principle of subsidiarity and with the other customary norms in the European Union, a radical decentralization should be carried out also in the field of information policy.
		A new regional construction requires a new political construction as well, which cannot be achieved without reforming the constitution, in concordance with the basic principles of the European constitution, which is currently being elaborated.

	Myth*ing Links: Central & Eastern Europe / Balkans: Romania
		Oppress or be oppressed: it is an endless cycle in regions of the world where differences in religion, speech, appearance, economic status, or access to power cause one side to victimize the other, until circumstances swing to the other extreme, as they always do, sooner or later, and the victims become the victors.
		This is "Romania -- A Country Study" from the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. It looks at all aspects of the country, including geography, a confusing history (ancient and modern), society, economics, politics, transportation, military -- everything except the arts.
		Romanian historians explain the absence of hard evidence for their claims by pointing out that the region lacked organized administration until the twelfth century and by positing that the Mongols destroyed any existing records when they plundered the area in 1241.

	H-Net Review: James P. Niessen on Historical Dictionary of Romania
		Vardy is correspondingly strong on medieval rulers, battles, and institutions, though these are not neglected by Treptow and Popa, and he also devotes generous attention to regions, historical figures, and leaders of the Hungarian minority in the territories now ruled by Hungary's neighbors.
		Some entries of doubtful historical significance may be justified by the identification with their respective nationality in American popular perception, such as the actor Bela Lugosi and the gymnast Nadia Comaneci.
		Kurt Treptow is a specialist on medieval and twentieth-century Romania and a translator of Romanian poetry who directs the Center for Romanian Studies in Iasi, Romania;[3] while Marcel Popa is the director of a Romanian reference publisher and a medievalist.

	Romania - A brief history and geography, including the real Dracula
		Present-day Romania is just slightly smaller in area than Great Britain (or about the size of New York and Pennsylvania combined), with a population of about 23 million.
		Romania in its present form has been in existence only since 1859, but can trace its history to the era around 2000 B.C.E. Over its four thousand years, Romania's geographical location between western Europe and the East has forced its citizens to defend their land through almost continual wars, invasions, occupations, oppressions, and massacres.
		From 1965 to 1989, the Romanians were subjected to arguably the worst despotic regime among the Soviet Bloc countries: that of Nicolae Ceausescu who, along with his wife Elena, destroyed historical villages and buildings, confiscated essentially everything of value, and literally stole the food from his own people.
