- Title
Noile tendinţe repetitive O analiză contextuală a alegerilor locale 2012.

PAVEL, DAN
- Abstract
The author considers that 2012 local elections in Romania marked the beginnings of a new party system and political system. 2012 was the year of popular movements and street protests, asking for political change. For the first time in post-communism, the coalition in power was defeated in Parliament with a censorship motion, followed by a new government, made from the previous opposition parties. In 2008, the party system moved towards tripartidism, but now the anti-system party is back, with a strong populist appeal. Romania passed already "he two-turnover test" (in 1996 and 2000), in 2004 it was already the third turnover, but the big question remains: if the 2012 will mark the fourth turnover, why democracy is not yet consolidated?
