Transition analysis

Since 1990, RIQL has focused on the new, post-communist model of Romanian society. The main topic was first social policy: a new vision of the state’s social functions. In the 2000’s, the focus changed to the evaluation of the results of the transition process, the understanding of the crisis that affected Romanian society and the identification of possible paths to overcome crisis.
