| Tiivistelmä: | In the 2004 Romanian elections, the Social Democratic Party's (PSD, Partidul Social Democrat) defeat by the liberal centre-right coalition, the Alliance of Truth and Justice (DA, Alianta Dreptate si Adevar), and the country's EU membership seem to indicate the end of a troubled post-communist transition. However, the EU mandated justice system reforms have not fundamentally altered the nature of the political elite. The political establishment has been unstable and political parties continue to hinder the development of an accountable and transparent political system. The EU's emphasis on speedy reform implementation has resulted in an inconsistent application of political conditionality, leaving Romania's democratisation process incomplete. |
