Democratization and Securitization
The Case of Romania
Series: - International Comparative Social Studies, Volume: 20
Author:
Securitization and Democratization reveals the mutual dependency between democratization and securitization, two processes that while evolving reinforce each other. The study of the democratic consolidation is complemented by the more complex and dynamic securitization elements that offer an in-depth view of the internal threats to be faced. Ms. Stefanâs analysis creates an articulated and coherent concept underlying the close dependence between democracy and security. As a study case, Romania provides a wide scale of situations in several security sectors and contributes to building a model that is operational in any post-communist society.
Adina M. Stefan, Ph. D. (2005) in International Relations, University of Groningen, worked for the Romanian government and gave courses in International Security and Politics at the Amsterdam School of International Relations. At present, she works as a political consultant.
