The present website has taken shape during my post-doctoral studies at the Romanian Academy as the need arise to create an online platform open to all those interested in European affairs, International relations and Political science as well as related academic areas.
This academic project thus envisages to promote the European spirit and values while providing to all the parties interested a series of analyses and opinion articles written on a neutral basis, which avoids any partisan cloud on the quality of research.
By providing expertise in the field of European affairs this website shall try to stimulate public debates on European issues. Another ambition of this new platform is to become a host to and to promote studies and analyses regarding, but not limited to, Romania’s development within the European Union and ways to better exercise its attributes as a Member State.
In the end it is also a platform about Romania, chiefly about its politics presented to a foreign audience who sometimes may wander what is really happening here, at the gates of the Orient. “Que voulez-vous, nous sommes ici aux portes de l’Orient, où tout est pris à la légère...” (Raymond Poincaré)
