Entrenchment Clauses in the History of Modern Constitutionalism
This article examines the origins, differentiation, and migration of constitutional entrenchment clauses from the beginning of modern constitutionalism until today.

The Fight Against Government Corruption in Romania: Irreversible Results or Sisyphean Challenge
The fight against political, especially government, corruption has dominated Romanian political discourse for many years.

After background data subgroups had been clustered based on similarity in the variables related to religious involvement, two clusters were identified. One cluster contained individuals whose religious involvement was characteri…
