The Constitutional History of Romania
No full textIn Romania’s constitutional history we can find seven main laws adopted at different periods of time. The beginning of the first Romanian Constitution can be found in the year 1866, even if there existed other normative settlements, having general character, previous to this year, the entering in force of the first supreme law is reported in the second half of the 19 th century. The first two constitutions had a mainly democratic character, containing liberties, that couldn’t be found even in the similar documents of that period, at European level. The third one created an authoritarian regime of monarchy, a short time before the last world War, the following three have been characteristic to the communist period. The main supreme law is positioned on the line of the first constitutions, and was submitted to some variations, at 12 years from the moment it entered in force.constitution, historic, effects, main

Civic associations, populism, and (un-)civic behavior: evidence from Germany
No full textCivic associations are expected to foster civic, pro-social behavior, but this optimistic view is increasingly contested. We argue that populist radical right parties can strategically target and infiltrate associations to diffuse anti-establishment rhetoric and anti-democratic attitudes. We illustrate this phenomenon by examining the relationship between civic associations and compliance with government rules during Germany's first Covid-19 lockdown with a difference-in-differences design. Results show that areas with denser sport, nature, and culture clubs recorded higher mobility under lockdown. We document the infiltration mechanism and the spreading of anti-democratic attitudes within associations, using survey and election data and qualitative evidence including interviews. In doing so, we shed light on a negative effect of social networks and an understudied strategy of challenger populist parties

Does equalizing assets spur development? Evidence from large-scale land reform in Peru
No full textMany scholars point to landholding inequality as a root cause of the ``Great Divergence'' between rich and poor countries over the last few centuries. Large landowners who fear being eclipsed by the masses or rival industrial elites and seek to preserve social and economic rents underinvest in public goods, block rural–urban migration, and keep peasants poor and subservient. By eliminating large landowners and enabling new policy initiatives, extensive land reform holds potential to vastly and directly improve peasant livelihoods, facilitate human capital formation, and enhance economic and social mobility. We demonstrate that this failed to occur in Peru despite a sweeping land reform that redistributed half of all private land to peasants. Using original localized land reform data and a geographic regression discontinuity design that exploits unevenness in reform implementation, we show that greater land reform intensity in Peru generated more poverty and stunted human development. This occurred because land reform encouraged rural demographic stasis, generated widespread land informality and property rights instability, and reduced political competitiveness. Although the government's distortionary management of post-reform cooperatives certainly did not maximize their development potential, evidence suggests that Peru's land reform failed to promote development because of broader inherent features of the reform
