Abstract: Abstract The Romanian public administration space, the subject of this next chapter, is an active and dynamic player in the global debate of public administration reforms. The globalization forces that affect governance everywhere certainly have an impact in Romania as well. Over the last two decades, Romanian society has transitioned from a centrally planned, communist dictatorship with crumbling infrastructure and a stifled democracy to a newly integrated member of the European Union. Most political, economic, and administrative reforms that took place over this period were affected by these two monumental realities: the communist heritage and the European aspirations. As Romania’s interaction with globalization was filtered by these two realities, the dismantling of the old communist state and meeting the criteria for European integration became the palpable facets of globalization (Birzea, 2005a, 2005b; Crăciun, 2008; Crăciun & Collins, 2008a, 2008b; Hâncean, 2009a, 2009b).
