Unraveling post-socialist urban expansion
Post-socialist urbanisation in Central and Eastern Europe is often described through common processes of decentralisation, land-market formation and suburban expansion, yet the spatial outcomes of transition have diverged substantially across countries. This study examines how contrasting land-ownership reforms and planning instruments shaped long-term built-up dynamics in six second-tier Polish and Romanian urban regions. Using fine-grained Glob…
The Impact of Students’ Migration on a School’s Lifespan
Internal and international migration in Romania is a well-known fact with a significant influence on the overall society. Schools are also profoundly affected by migration, and especially by student migration. Annually, every school in Romania submits a school plan detailing the number of classes, the number of teachers, and other vacancies, which has a significant impact on the establishment's finances. When calculating this projection, the lead…
Explaining the Nature of Policy Responses During the Pandemic Outbreak
The Covid‐19 pandemic had a varied impact on different regions in Europe, resulting in diverse policy responses from subnational governments. In this article we investigate the policy measures local and regional authorities implemented during the initial wave of the pandemic, with a focus on 28 regions and cities in the European Union (EU). We examine 317 measures in the areas of public health, social security, daily life and work, and economic r…
A Geographical Perspective on the Impact of Covid-19 on Tourism Demand in Romania
Although the tourism sector has witnessed a gradual recovery during the last years from the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is still too soon to discuss about a full recovery, as territories have responded and adapted in diverse manners to the shock. As such, it is important to investigate the impact of the pandemic in different moments and at different geographical scales, in order to identify and understand the contrasts between…
No Space for Female Mayors in Romania
It is expected that the number of elected female mayors in local government will increase globally, yet no major progress has been registered lately despite the increased focus on the topic. At the European level, no country exceeds 40% female mayors or other leaders of the municipal council (or equivalent), with the highest descriptive representation of 39.1% in Iceland. Following the 2020 elections in Romania, only around 5% of mayors were fema…
Innovation in urban governance and economic resilience. The case of two Romanian regional metropolises
This article aims to explain how innovations in urban governance contribute to economic resilience of post-socialist regional metropoles, by retracing the path development process of the local governance systems in two Romanian cities - Timișoara and Cluj-Napoca. Firstly, the paper brings analytical cross-fertilization between urban governance studies and the emerging field of path development, by proposing a combined framework based on four dime…
Covid-19 as a systemic shock
The COVID-19 pandemic, originating as a health crisis but quickly expanding to other social spheres, had significant and asymmetric impacts across Europe, which potentially undermine territorial cohesion. Much has been written about the overall impact of the pandemic on the underlying thematic and budgetary focus of European Union-level policies with respect to territorial cohesion. However, it remains unclear to what extent policies implemented …
Women’s Participation in the Local Government as Voters, Candidates and Mayors in the North East Region of Romania
Most of the studies focus on the high representation of women in politics such as in Parliament, Government or Euro Parliament, while little attention is given to the local government despite its importance within the national politic system. Therefore, the aim of this research is to better analyze, observe and understand the dynamics of women’s participation at the electoral process in the local government as candidates and winners, but also as …
La temporalité différenciée des stratégies des acteurs locaux comme facteur clé de résilience des métropoles régionales
L’hypothèse centrale du présent article est que la résilience dynamique des territoires postsocialistes repose avant tout sur la temporalité et le contenu des stratégies déployées par les acteurs locaux. Sur la base de trois études de cas extensives réalisées au plan longitudinal, l’article reconstitue les trajectoires de restructuration économique des trois métropoles régionales de Roumanie – Timișoara, Cluj-Napoca et Iași. L’analyse comparative…
Territorial dynamics of tourism in Romania
The potential role of tourism in enhancing a balanced territorial development is officially acknowledged by the EU. However, little is known regarding the extent to which tourism in Romania contributes or could contribute to reducing regional inequalities. The present study approaches the matter of the growth of tourism demand and supply in relation to the type of territory (lagging, intermediary, leading), at both regional and local levels. The …
