"Stories have both the power to heal and to hurt the wounds of the past. Most often, when the war with the real weapons was over, another one was about to start - the cruel 'war of meanings', which targeted not the bodies, but the minds of people, with the main aim to deepen the gap between different ethnicities. In other words, in post-conflict countries each public narrative becomes a 'weapon'. Around this idea evolves the main red thread of the book, showing that the particularity of the post-conflict countries in the Western Balkans lays in the fact that different ethnicities attach contradictory meanings to the same political realities, which complicates the puzzle of post-conflict transformation in the context of the European Union integration process. For an external observer, like the author of this book, who is originally from Romania and focuses on the ex-Yugoslav space, this symbolic process of constructing 'parallel realities of political discourse' can raise multiple challenges. In my view, the most valuable contribution of this study is that it convincingly argues that policy narratives matter for an in-depth understanding of Europeanization in post-conflict settings. Moreover, it shows that in the particular cases of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo they are essential units of analysis, as they become instruments of everyday policy making, where symbols are used as strategic tools for divisive agendas. In the end, the study shows that there is a need to pay more attention to policy narratives in analysing EU enlargement policy in the Western Balkans, particularly in the post-conflict societies, in order to unpack alternative conflict transformation strategies that would allow a sustainable reconciliation at the same time with full-fledged Europeanization.
I strongly recommend this book as a relevant analytic tool for both scholars and policy makers interested in a critical approach towards the newly theorised concept of 'post-conflict Europeanization' proposed by Mrs Troncota, and illustrated with rich empirical material from field research insights from Kosovo and Bosnia."

 | Governance and europeanization as a framework for understanding the european society
Ana Maria Costea, Alexandru Mihai Ghigiu, Ioana Roxana Melenciuc (Editors) | ISBN: 978-606-749-104-3
The European continent is currently facing numerous challenges from within, but also from outside, both of them challenging the global power status of the European Union. Within the EU we have to deal with an unprecedented refugee/immigration crisis, fact that inevitably affected the internal security of its Member states. The migration crisis highlights once again the issue of border security and European unity. Externally the civil war from Syria and even closer, the Ukrainian crisis are affecting the regional security putting under pressure the border security of the EU.

 | Impactul programelor de dezvoltare comunitara asupra comunitatilor locale. Studiu de caz: programul de dezvoltare rurala
Vlad Alexandru Grigoras | ISBN: 978-606-749-009-1
Programele de dezvoltare comunitara reprezinta unul dintre cele mai cunoscute mecanisme de directionare a fondurilor catre nivelul local in vederea asigurarii dezvoltarii multidimensionale a acestuia. Si in Romania conceptul s-a bucurat de o larga popularitate: a fost sustinut puternic si integrat extrem de usor in ideologia dezvoltarii. Totusi, evaluarile riguroase privind efectele asupra comunitatilor au fost mai degraba modeste. Lucrarea de fata isi propune sa raspunda acestei nevoi, avand scopul de intelege modul in care a functionat un program ?clasic" de dezvoltare comunitara in Romania (Programul de Dezvoltare Rurala ? PDR).

 | East versus West: When Politics Collide with Economics
Ana Maria Costea | ISBN: 978-606-749-056-5
The main objective of the present study is to develop a comprehensive analysis on the decision making process within the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Organization (NATO) regarding their foreign and security policies with a special focus on their policies occurring at their Eastern frontier.
The importance of the theme lies in the fact that, although both organizations have stipulated t heir desire to be global actors, their immediate Eastern frontier has been for years an unstable and unsecure region that reminded us about the interplay of the Cold War between the East and the West.

 | The emergence of a European evaluation culture
Ioana-Roxana Melenciuc | ISBN: 978-606-749-106-7
This book is the first out of a series of two volumes on the study of evaluation culture(s). Is there a common European evaluation culture or are there only cultures of evaluation that are ascribed to the national space? Has the evaluation culture been subject of the Europeanization process? Is there a contribution or an attribution relationship between the North American Evaluation culture and the European one? These are just some of the questions that should find an answer within the pages of this study.

 | Evaluarea programelor si politicilor in Romania.
Impact, raspundere publica si cultura organizationala
Nicolae Toderas, Ana-Maria Stavaru | ISBN: 978-606-749-015-2
În pragul Centenarului Marii Uniri, ne-am imaginat România ca fiind reperul permanent de încredere pentru cetățenii săi: România – țara europeană, puternică, având un cadru legislativ funcțional, dezvoltat pe principiile statului de drept; România – statul responsabil care concepe și aplică politici și programe publice în folosul și pentru binele cetățenilor; România – statul solid ale cărui instituții publice răspund în fața contribuabililor, în spiritul autocriticii și al îmbunătățirii continue; România – societatea democratică și pluralistă, care-și respectă oamenii.
Încercând să surprindă câteva elemente marcante cu privire la îmbunătățirea politicilor publice și a programelor și implicit a gestionării fondurilor publice naționale și europene, volumul aduce în prim plan întrebări și frământări actuale privind evaluarea politicilor și programelor, răspunderea publică și perspectivele culturii organizaționale în administrația publică românească.
