One of the directions in order to study the changes that affected the university in postcomunist Romania is to analyze the relationship between politics and university. This analysis is situated on three levels: the university, the political elites and university and the university and the state. Our study aims to offer a profile of the members of the Romanian Parliament during the period 1990-2008 in terms of academic career. Following the Bourdieu's criteria on academic relevance our conclusion is that the presence of important members of the academic space in the Romanian Parliament explains on one hand the backwardness of the higher education system and on the other hand, the creation of the private universities after 1990.

ABSTRACT Discussions about image and branding policies are usually placed in the framework of "place marketing" and marketing literature helps in defining the features, components and main characters of image and of its relationship with local identity. We suggest, however, that managing images is also a political process with significant impact in supporting and shaping the scenario (perceptions and expectations) for innovation and economic policies. The argument is supported by two different and complementary case studies from Tuscany (Italy). The first one discusses the case of areas that show a divergence from the dominating pattern of social and economic development in the region. It is shown that "managing otherness" is more than a communication problem and may reveal underlying ambiguities: at the same time, a request for supporting structurally disadvantaged areas and the affirmation of an alternative identity and of alternative development patterns. The second case study shows a different kind of "otherness", concerning new industries and emerging social groups. Discussion shows that the branding process may imply a competition between images in order to control the representation of the past, present and future of an area. This competition aims at influencing the policy agenda by manipulating the gaps between image and identity.

The volume approaches Cuba as a nation that hosts a convergence of extraordinary global developments and, in turn, projects itself onto the world's major cultural, political and economic processes. From different perspectives, ranging from architecture and music to politics and economics, the twenty-one essays presented here embrace the multifaceted interactions between Cuba and foreign imperial strategies during the 19th century, the troublesome formation of national political cultures in the first half of the 20th century, and the multiple global aspects of some of Cuba's choices from the Cold War to the first decade of the present century

Osnutak Sbora liečnika kr. Hrvatske i Slavonije sa sjedištem u Zagrebu i Družtva slavonskih liečnika sa sjedištem u Osijeku 874. godine rezultat je složenih društveno - političkih procesa, ali i zamaha na razini hrvatske kulturne integracije. Oblikovanje strukovnoga identiteta podrazumijevalo je sazrijevanje liječnika u kontekstu društvene uloge bez obzira na njihovu regionalnu raspoređenost. Osijek u to vrijeme jača, ne samo kao kao civilno i vojno središte već i kao zdravstveni centar Slavonije. Borba za oživotvorenje samostalnoga strukovnoga udruženja pozicionirala gaje stoga kao ravnopravnoga partnera Zagrebu i kao sredinu sa snažnim potencijalom borbe za reformu zdravstva uvjetovanu angažiranom ulogom liječničke profesije. ; Establishing of Sbor liečnika kr. Hrvatske i Slavonije (The Medical Association of the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia) with headquarters in Zagreb and Družtvo slavonskih liečnika (Slavonian Medical Association) with headquarters in Osijek in 1874 was a result of complex social and political processes, but also efforts taken for Croatian cultural integration. Forming a professional identity included maturing of medical doctors in the context of their social role, regardless of their regional position. Osijek was becoming stronger at the time, not only as a civil and military centre, but also as a health centre of Slavonia. With efforts for establishing an independent professional association, Osijek became an equal partner to Zagreb and a place with a strong potential for fighting for a health reform, which mostly depended on doctors' efforts.

The theses "The Constitutional Ordinance of Republic of Moldova.1990-2007" represents a complex analyse of crucial moments of Republic of Moldova political life like the independence proclaiming on 1991, the Constitution adopting on 1994, the level of political culture of local people and the principle of separation of powers in the state, with the representatives institutions as the parliament, govern and presidency. This study is structured in three chapters divided into paragraphs from 3 to 5 each of them and the subjects are systematized in chronological order respecting the most important events of the last two centuries of Moldova`s history. The bibliographical support of the this work is formed by a vast collection of specialized studies of the Moldavian, Italian, Russian and American researchers. The collection of the fundamental laws and documents used in this study made it to be a complex contribution in understanding the South-Eastern Europe state: Republic of Moldova.

Nell'articolo si propongono delle metodologie semplificate per la stima dei costi esterni prodotti dai sistemi di trasporto in ambito regionale, che possono essere utilizzate basandosi sui dati statistici disponibili per le diverse regioni italiane, senza la necessità di predisporre apposite indagini. Queste metodologie consentono di ottenere una stima preliminare dei costi esterni principali, utile per valutare piani, politiche e progetti di sistemi di trasporto. Nella nota, dopo un esame dello stato dell'arte delle metodologie per la stima dei costi esterni proposte in ambito internazionale e degli studi sviluppati sull'argomento, si stimano i costi esterni principali (emissioni di gas serra, inquinamento atmosferico, inquinamento acustico, incidentalità e congestione) prodotti dai sistemi di trasporto in Regione Campania. In particolare sono stati stimati i costi esterni prodotti non solo dal traffico stradale, che comunque risulta essere il principale "colpevole", ma anche dal trasporto ferroviario ed aereo. I risultati ottenuti nell'ambito della Regione Campania hanno mostrato come l'entità dei costi esterni non sia trascurabile in rapporto al PIL regionale e come i costi esterni di maggiore entità risultino essere quelli ambientali: inquinamento acustico, inquinamento atmosferico ed emissioni di gas serra. I risultati ottenuti hanno mostrato la rilevante incidenza dei costi esterni e la necessità che essi siano correttamente ed opportunamente valutati ogniqualvolta si investono soldi pubblici in progetti di miglioramento dei sistemi di trasporto. ; In this paper simplified methods for estimating the external costs due to transportation in regional areas are proposed. The methods are based on data available by national and regional statistical sources and do not need specific surveys; they allow obtaining approximate estimates useful for a preliminary evaluation of transportation plans, policies and projects. Using the proposed methods the external costs of transportation in the region of Campania are estimated. First results show the relevance of external costs and the applicability of proposed methodologies for an Italian region; the same methodologies can be applied to regions of other European countries where the data are available.
