The Romanian economy and the standards of European Union

Lucrare de licenta despre The Romanian economy and the standards of European Union
Immediately after the end of the First World War, the organization of Europe as a continent, as a region of the world, begun to be seen as a real problem that had to be fixed. In the same time appears also, the opposition between two conceptions the "construction" of Europe. The first conception was referring to a simple cooperation, which would not undermine the state suzerainty of the European countries, while the second idea was about surpassing the states' suzerainty through a process of unification, a process of "integration", how it was later called.

Private persons asserted the second conception, clearly federalist, firstly, with no importance in the decision-making process. The count of Coudenhove-Kalergi published in 1922, in Vienna, the manifest of Paneuropa in which he says that "the problem of Europe can be reduced at only two words: unification or collapse" . In 1926, he even brought together, at Vienna, the constitutive congress of the Union of Paneuropa to which over 2000 persons attend.
