The paper discusses, from a social constructivist theoretical perspective, the manner in which Romanias African Strategy, Romania-Africa: A Partnership for Future through Peace, Development and Education, envisions civil society's role. The paper tries to identity the political, theoretical and ideological underpinnings of the document's view of civil society, by analyzing not only its content, but its position within the wider context of Romania's foreign policy. The ambiguous or rather limited role that civil society is expected to play is explained as a result of the two rather conflicting views of international politics which the document tries, albeit unsuccessfully to reconcile: an understanding of international politics, focused on the distribution of power and centered on the privileged role states play in international politics, stemming from a historical sense of vulnerability exacerbated by the War in Ukraine, which cannot be reconciled with a view of international relations focused on the role of international institutions and Romania's historical support for decolonization. In addition to the interaction between these perspectives, both views, however, prescribe a subordinate role for civil society.

In the context of the development of research infrastructures, necessary for the solution of economic and social challenges in the countries of the European Union, and at the global level. The branch of research is an important part of the economic cycle, and they are valued as strategic, innovation investments that contribute to national and global competitiveness. An important problem of cricketing is the transfer of knowledge/technologies in the innovation ecosystem, the adoption of innovative ideas coming from research, by SME. It is important to be able to develop and implement new research infrastructure financing principles for EU countries. In this article, we propose to carry out a comparative analysis of research funding mechanisms in the EU countries and other experiences from the USA, Japan, China, in order to be able to identify new solutions and mechanisms for funding and making research strategies, policies and management more efficient in Romania. By correlating research - development, innovation policies with funding and investment policies in the short, medium and long term, we will succeed in building a viable and functional model of scientific research in different fields of development in Romania and for EU partner countries and other partner countries.

PurposeThis study aims to examine the effects of likeability of service agents on perceived justice and reconciliation and retaliation as consequences of service failures, taking into consideration the conflict resolution styles that is showing empathy and issuing an apology.Design/methodology/approachAn online survey was administered to 630 residents in the United States. The participants were US residents, had experienced a service failure in the prior six months and had complained either in person or by phone call.FindingsIt was found that likeability had a positive effect on both reconciliation and retaliation. Given the likeability of the service agent, interactional justice mitigated retaliation, whereas distributive justice enhanced reconciliation. Furthermore, when a service agent displays a high level of empathy and apology, the positive effect of likeability on distributive justice is intensified.Originality/valueThis study extends the current knowledge concerning the effects of likeability in service recovery by offering a comprehensive framework and practical implications for managers to restore business relationships following a service failure.
