- Title
Two Decades of Existence of the Freedom of Information Act in Romania: Appearance and Specificity.
- Authors
MIHALACHE, Liviu-Valentin
- Abstract
In 2001 the Freedom of Information Act (Law no. 544/2001) was adopted by the Romanian Parliament, in a sign of unprecedented openness of the beaurocratic apparatus towards its citizenry. This article answers two main questions: firstly, how did Law no. 544/2001 appear in Romania, what was the general social and political context, and what made civil society, the government and opposition at that time to cooperate for the adoption of the law? And secondly, what is the specificity of this law, which are the main traits that distinguish it as an anti-corruption tool, two decades after it entered into force?
