Cuvnt nainte

Lucrarea constituie un amalgam de argumente care vin s certifice rolul i prestana Universitii de Studii Politice i Economice Europene (USPEE) ,,Constantin Stere n arealul instituiilor de nvmnt superior din Republica Moldova.

Educaia este cea mai puternic arm pe care omeni-rea o poate folosi pentru a schimba lumea, a afirmat Nelson Mandela. Aadar, n aceast lume a interdependenelor, n care societatea devine tot mai dinamic i mai complex, nvmntului i revine un rol determinant n asigurarea funcionalitii i ascendenei ntregului sistem social. Or,

n lipsa acestui proces, umanitatea, chiar i ntregul univers, s-ar fi transfor-mat ntr-un haos imens. De aici pornete i necesitatea stringent de a procrea acele temple ale cunoaterii instituii de nvmnt orientate spre cercetare calitativ i cantitativ, cu misiuni i viziuni multidimensionale, care s gene-reze inovaie i inteligen cultural, luciditate n relaia cu problemele sociale. n aceast arie de preocupri, se nscrie i instituirea, acum 15 ani, a viabilei USPEE ,,Constantin Stere. Anume obiectivele vizate au stat la fundamentarea acestei instituii de nvmnt superior, care, dei este una relativ tnr, a reuit deja s-i justifice pe deplin existena, conferind sistemului universitar naional un plus de siguran educaional i instituional.

Aniversarea a 15 ani de existen a USPEE ,,Constantin Stere nu repre-zint pentru noi doar un jubileu academic, ci ne prilejuiete i o reflecie asu-pra rolului jucat de aceast instituie n viaa societii noastre. Or, atare reflec-ie devine util att pentru prestaia istoric a sistemului cultural-educaional al rii, ct i pentru stabilirea obiectivelor care ni se impun pentru a schimba lucrurile n mai bine i a aduce prosperitate comunitii.

O coal de nvmnt superior nu poate fi dect una de elit. i nu vreau s par lipsit de modestie, afirmnd c Universitatea ,,Constantin Stere se nca-dreaz perfect n acest statut elitist, deoarece reprezint o instituie a seriozit-ii, calitii i eficienei, care i asum rapid valorile comunitare, autentice.

Fiind o instituie care se respect, corpul didactic al universitii noastre nu este selectat n mod aleatoriu, concursurile de angajare fiind bazate pe principii riguroase, transparente i obiective. Din el fac parte personaliti de notorietate incontestabil, care dein cele mai nalte grade tiinifico-di-dactice. Activitatea lor este marcat nu doar de profesionalism, ci i de senti-mentul chemrii luntrice, i de simul datoriei mplinite vizavi de vocaia pe care le-a oferit-o destinul. Propagarea adevrului, mprtirea cunotinelor

cu ceilali, reflecia colectiv asupra destinelor societii acestea sunt doar cteva dintre valorile n funcie de care fiecare dascl al universitii noastre i structureaz lecia, indiferent de domeniul n care susine prelegerea. Cre-dem c aceste mecanisme acioneaz ca facilitatori, asigurnd mult rvnitele oportuniti de carier, performan.

Se pare c necesitatea de modernizare a statului este perceput de tot mai muli tineri, acetia alegnd USPEE ca formator de personalitate, fapt ce ne bucur nespus de mult, deoarece scopul pe care ni l-am propus s furni-zm rii profesioniti exigeni, responsabili, de care avem atta nevoie, este perfect realizabil. Prin urmare, USPEE este angajat plenar n pregtirea spe-cialitilor cu un nivel de profesionalism nalt, punnd accentul pe o educaie personalizat, adaptabil i generatoare de cunoatere. Dezvoltarea personal, multilateral a absolvenilor notri este miza major a procesului de instruire n cadrul USPEE, care este modularizat, astfel nct s satisfac cerinele, tot mai complexe, de dezvoltare a personalitii, de studiere i evoluie a carierei. Aplicarea celor mai nalte standarde n programele noastre de studii, asigu-rarea calitii procesului de instruire, calificarea profesional a absolvenilor i integrarea lor, n mod convenabil, pe piaa muncii, inclusiv peste hotarele rii, demonstreaz c suntem o universitate capabil s nfrunte dificultile. Astfel, diplomele obinute de absolvenii USPEE nu reprezint numai factori indicatori, ci adeveresc competena, nivelul de performan dictat de nalte ambiii intelectuale.

Am insistat pe ideea ca acest edificiu al cunoaterii USPEE, s dispun i de o infrastructur pe msur, modern, adaptat la toate rigorile aule spai-oase ptrunse nu doar de luminozitatea tiinei, ci i de condiii europene.

Consider c toate acestea impulsioneaz Republica Moldova spre moder-nizare i integrare n comunitatea internaional.

mpreun profesori i studeni, formm echipa Universitii de Studii Politice i Economice Europene ,,Constantin Stere bine consolidat, sub toate aspectele, angajat, de 15 ani, n procesul de evoluie a sistemului uni-versitar autohton, capabil s transforme cunoaterea i s asigure bunsta-rea ntregii societi.

Foreword

This work represents a variety of arguments which confirm the role and performance of the University of Eu-ropean Political and Economic Studies (USPEE), Constantin Stere, in the area of higher education institutions in Moldova. Education is the most pow-erful weapon that mankind can use to change the world, said Nelson Mandela. Thus, in this world of interdependence, in which society is becoming more dy-namic and complex, education plays a decisive role, ensuring the overall func-tionality and progress of the social sys-tem.

In the absence of this process, human-ity, and even the whole universe would be transformed into a huge chaos. Thus, the urgent need to create those temples of knowledge - educational institutions oriented qualitative and qualitative re-search, with multidimensional missions and visions that generate innovation and cultural intelligence, as well as lu-cidity in relation to social problems. In that context, 15 years ago the University Constantin Stere (USPEE) has been founded. Specific objectives are targeted at the foundation of this institution of higher education, which, although a rel-atively young one, has already managed to fully justify its existence, giving the national university system added educa-tional and institutional security.

The 15th anniversary of existence of USPEE Constantin Stere is for us not just an academic jubilee, but also an oc-casion to reflect on the role which this institution has played in our society. However, such reflection is useful for both the historical performance of the countrys cultural-educational system, and for setting goals that require us to

change things for the better and which bring prosperity to the community.

A school of higher education can only be an elite institution. I do not want to appear without modesty, saying that the University Constantin Stere fits neatly into this elite status, as it is an institution of thoroughness, quality and efficiency, which absorbs rapidly com-munity and authentic values.

Being a respected institution, the teachers of our university are not se-lected at random; competitions for re-cruitment are based on sound, transpar-ent and objective principles. Here work well-known personalities of indisputable renown who have the highest scientific degrees. Their work is marked not only by professionalism, but also by an inner calling and sense of duty towards the vo-cation that gave them a destiny. Promot-ing the truth, sharing knowledge with others, collective reflection on societys destiny - these are just some of the values according to which every teacher of our university structures his lessons, indiffer-ent of his subject matter. We believe that these mechanisms act as facilitators, pro-viding coveted career opportunities.

It seems that the need to modern-ize the state is perceived by more and more young people, choosing USPEE as an educator of personality, of which we are very proud, because our plan is to provide the country with demanding and responsible professionals of whom we have so much need. Therefore, US-PEE is fully engaged in the preparation of specialists with a high level of pro-fessionalism, focusing on personalized, adaptable and knowledge-generating education.

Personal and multilateral develop-ment of our graduates is a major goal in USPEEs educational process, which is

, ,,

modularized so as to satisfy more com-plex personality development, learning and career development. Applying the highest standards in our education pro-grams, ensuring the quality of training, qualification and integration of gradu-ates conveniently into the labour market, including abroad, shows that we are a university capable of facing difficulties. Thus, diplomas obtained by students at USPEE are not only indicators, but ex-press competence, a performance level driven by high intellectual ambition.

I insisted on the idea that this edifice of knowledge USPEE, need to have the necessary, modern infrastructure, mod-ern, adapted to all demands - spacious lecture halls, penetrated not only by the light of science but also by European conditions.

I believe that all these will contribute to the modernization and integration of Moldova into the international commu-nity.

Together - professors and students - form the team of the University of Eu-ropean Political and Economic Studies, Constantin Stere - well-established in all regards, since 15 years dedicated to the evolution of a national university system, capable to transform knowledge and to ensure the whole societys welfare.

The cooperation of USPEE with EPLO

The European Public Law Organiza-tion (EPLO) joins in the celebration of the 15th anniversary of the University of Political, Economic and European Stud-ies (USPEE), an occasion for cherishing the Organizations fruitful cooperation with the institution and with the coun-try of Moldova at large.

We have been present in Moldova since 2004, assisting the country in de-veloping democratic and effective gov-erning institutions and strengthening the respect for human rights and fun-damental freedoms as the path towards political stability, economic growth and alleviation of poverty, as well as social inclusion and equal opportunity.

In 2005, the State University of Mol-dova became a member of the EPLO Board of Directors. In 2009, the Parlia-ment of the Republic of Moldova ratified the International Treaty establishing the EPLO, thus becoming a full member of the Organization.

In 2010 we began our cooperation with the USPEE, putting into practice our knowledge-propelled vision for de-velopment and our belief in investing in education as the means for build-ing the individual capacity for effective governance. Our cooperation has been defined by our joint efforts to enhance the relations between Moldova and EU member states, and to promote Euro-pean values throughout the country, to the benefit of its economic and political future. Through this cooperation, the EPLO will soon become a full member of the University and will define, along with the other partners a new strategy, towards the Europeanization of law and

Stere, rnimea i dreptul

Luat ca atare, Dreptatea e o necesitate fundamental pentru existena fizic i spiritual, precum a omului, aa i a societii. Nu e deloc ntmpltor c din vremi strvechi, is-toria noastr i nedreptatea merg mn de mn, njugate la acelai plug. Nedreptatea a fost un viciu, care i chinuia ntruna pe strbunii notri. Nenelegerile i tensiunile, mai ales la un popor sudic, de vi latin, se ineau lan. Trgul, unde era Judele, care pe atunci avea i funcii administrative, era mult prea departe. Drumurile proaste, croite la ntmplare, ca s

ajungi la trg era nevoie de cteva zile. Se mergea pe jos sau cu carul tras de boi, ceea ce, din punctul de vedere al timpului n drum, era cam aceeai. Unde mai pui c drumurile treceau prin pduri, prin renumiii codri, i a merge la trg i a te ntoarce nejefuit, nsemna s ai un noroc deosebit.

Constrns de mprejurri, nelepciunea popular, pentru a iei din si-tuaii, gsea n fiece sat cte-un btrnel care, fiind mai mult cu gndul la cele cereti, dovedea o obiectivitate deosebit, i venea de-l ruga s-i judece. De regul, sentinele Btrnului satului nu se discutau, fiind acceptate de societate din capul locului. Astfel n instituia ce se numea pe vremuri Btrnii satului, cel care judeca era i capul, noi am zice azi, Preedintele Btrnilor Satului. Unul din cei trei stlpi care i ornduiau viaa obteasc Primarul, Preotul i Btrnul satului.

Constantin Stere, una dintre cele mai luminate mini ale secolului trecut, fecior de boier din vechea Basarabie, vznd marile nedrepti ce domneau peste tot, a dus cu sine, de-a lungul vieii, durerea i necazurile rnimii. Din primele pagini ale celebrului su roman n preajma revoluiei se vede ct de grea era viaa robilor pmntului, cum se numeau ranii uneori pe ei nii. Aa stnd lucrurile, Stere trecu n tabra lupttorilor pentru dreptatea celor muli i obidii. Arestat, judecat, cu mai toat tinereea petrecut prin surghiunurile siberiene, el nu ostenea s tot acumuleze cunotine funda-mentale n diferite domenii, oarecum pregtindu-se pentru mreaa sa lupt n numele Dreptii.

Abia trecnd Prutul, se i nscrie la facultatea de drept a Universitii din Iai, pe care o absolvete fulgertor. Dup care, tot fulgertor devine, rnd pe rnd, profesor, rector i chiar Prefectul judeului Iai n timpul renumitelor rscoale rneti ce cutremurau ara. A tiut s fac pace, adic s aduc o mic dreptate rnimii judeului, dup care, strmutat la Bucureti, a devenit ilustru om politic, deputat n numeroase legislaturi, unul dintre fondatorii t-

12


nrului stat romn, unul din primii romancieri, dar dreptul ca atare rmnea preocupaia sa de baz pn la sfritul vieii.

Faptul c Universitatea de Studii Politice i Economice Europene din Mol-dova poart numele lui Constantin Stere e una din puinele drepti, n avalan-a de nedrepti ce nu ne mai las. n definitiv, pentru a lupta cu nedreptile i exist instituiile de nvmnt superior. Tineretul a fost dintotdeauna i rmne sperana neamului. Numele lui Constantin Stere nnobileaz, dar i oblig. S le urm profesorilor i studenilor steriti s in bine n minte, n suflet i n inim, motenirea i testamentul marelui nostru pmntean.

Stere, easantry and law

Taken as such, justice is a fundamen-tal necessity for bodily and spiritual ex-istence, both for man and society. It is not accidental that since ancient times, our history and injustice has gone hand in hand, yoked to the same plow. Injus-tice was a vice, which hurt each of our ancestors. Misunderstandings and ten-sions, especially in a southern nation of Latin origin, were chained together. The fair, where there was a Judge, who at the time held also administrative positions, was too far away. The roads were bad, cut at random. Thus, it took days to get to the fair. People went on foot or with a chariot pulled by oxen, which, in terms of travel time, was about the same. If you had to cross forests, by the famous woods, and go to the fair and to return without being robbed it meant that you had great luck.

Constrained by the circumstances, popular wisdom found in every vil-lage an old man, who, already thinking more of celestial matters, proved to be particularly objective, and asked him to become a judge. Typically, the sentences of the villages elder were not discussed, being accepted by society from the out-set. Thus, in the institution that once was called the village elders, the one who was judge would be today called the president of village elders. One of the three pillars which controlled public life - the mayor, the priest and the village elder.

Constantin Stere, one of the best minds of the last century, the noble son of former Bessarabia, seeing the great injustice that reigned everywhere, re-mained throughout his entire life aware of the peasantrys pain and sorrows. From the first pages of his famous nov-el Before the Revolution, we see how

hard life was for the slaves of the land, as the peasants called themselves some-times. Thus, Stere entered the ranks of many fighters for the justice of the many and oppressed. Arrested, tried, with the whole youth spent in Siberia, he labored to acquire fundamental knowledge in all different areas, somewhat in prepara-tion for his great battle for the sake of justice.

Having only crossed the Prut River, he entered the Law School of the University of Iasi, from which he graduated quick-ly. After that, everything became quick, becoming, in turn, professor, rector and even prefect of the district of Iasi, dur-ing the famous peasant uprising which shook the country. He knew how to make peace, that is, to bring a bit of justice to the county peasantry, then, moved to Bu-charest and became a famous politician, member of many legislatures, one of the founders of the young Romanian state, one of the first novelists. However, law as such remained his basic concern until the end of his life.

The fact that the University of Euro-pean Political and Economic Studies of Moldova carries the name of Constantin Stere is one of the few examples of justice, in the avalanche of injustice which sur-rounds us.. Finally, to fight injustice there are also institutions of higher education. Youth has always been and remains the nations hope. Constantin Steres name ennobles, but also obliges. Let us wish the professors and students in the tradi-tion of Stere, to keep well in their mind, soul and heart, the heritage and legacy of our great fellow human being.

USPEE un promotor al spaiului european de nvmnt superior

Dup 1990, odat cu multiplele schimbri care s-au produs n societatea din Republica Moldova, au intervenit modificari i n ceea ce privete organizarea nvmntului universitar.

n aceast ordine de idei, este adoptat n 1997 i deci-zia Universitii de Stat din Moldova, adoptat n 1997, care a dat curs iniiativei confereniarilor P. Fruntau i N. Laiu privind fondarea n comun a unei structuri neordinare In-stitutul de Studii Politice i Relaii Internaionale, ulterior

Universitatea de Studii Politice i Economice Europene ,,Constantin Stere. Au trecut 15 ani perioad n care au intervenit mai multe schimbri, dar,

n pofida vremurilor, instituia omagiat a dat dovad de viabilitate, a demon-strat c este capabil s rezolve cele mai complicate probleme n devenirea sa.

Cu aceast ocazie placut, adresm sincere felicitri i urri de bine celor care au absolvit i celor care studiaz la moment n noua instituie privat de n-vmnt superior; i n special domnului Gheorghe Avornic, rectorul USPEE, profesor universitar; cadrelor didactice i de conducere, tuturor angajailor care, prin munca lor nobil, ofer dragostea, cunotinele, capacitile de care dispun i contribuie nemijlocit la formarea prezentului i viitorului Republicii Moldova. Anume ei i-au asumat, n aceti 15 ani, deplina responsabilitate, de a conduce, cu mult rbdare i druire de sine, tineretul studios la lumina cunotinelor, la adevrul i nelepciunea gndului. Parcurgnd aceast cale, avem certitudinea c acest templu al cunoaterii i ndeplinete cu abnega-ie misiunea plin de responsabilitate, de edificare i consolidare a statalitii moldoveneti, de evoluie a comunitii, deoarece este angajat plenar n dez-voltarea tuturor sistemelor care asigur ascensiunea social. Or, nvmntul, n mod special nvmntul superior, constituie pilonul de rezisten al unei societi cu adevrat libere, pe care se poate menine un stat puternic.

O etap care, de asemenea, marcheaz activitatea USPEE sub toate aspec-tele constituie evaluarea i acreditarea instituiei, oferind oportunitatea de a identifica noi ci de dezvoltare a universitii. Aceasta demonstreaz potenial intelectual vast, paradigme moderne de instruire, baz tehnico-material per-formant, standarde nalte toate fiind asigurate de un management educaio-nal profesionist. Prin urmare, Universitatea ,,Constantin Stere este n drept s se considere un promotor al spaiului european de nvmnt superior.

Merit a fi apreciate i eforturile instituiei privind ncadrarea n lumea universitar internaional. Astfel, pe parcursul activitii sale, universitatea a semnat acorduri de colaborare cu mai multe centre universitare din Grecia, Romnia, Statele Unite ale Americii, Belgia, Ucraina, Federaia Rus, Canada, Frana, Spania, Italia, Cipru, Turcia etc. La toate facultile universitare in cur-suri teoretice i practice profesori din rile enumerate anterior.

Graie acestei colaborri, USPEE, anual, nregistreaz noi peformane la capitolul familiarizrii i implementrii noilor forme de organizare a procesu-lui de studii i de cercetare, a noilor tehnologii educaionale de performan, fapt ce contribuie la propagarea imaginii ei pe piaa universitar autohton, devenind din ce n ce mai credibil i mai atractiv pentru tinerii studioi, cci ei sunt viitorul nostru. Pentru ei ne strduim s realizm cele mai frumoase lucruri, s le altoim cunotinele necesare, s le formm cele mai bune deprin-deri, astfel nct noi toi s beneficiem, n deplin msur, de roadele progre-sului generate de cunoatere.

Acum, mai mult dect oricnd, simim necesitatea unor mecanisme efici-ente privind soluionarea problemelor cu care se confrunt comunitatea noas-tr, iar n acest sens, USPEE vine s cultive n ,,laboratorul su profesioniti adevrai, receptivi la tot ceea ce este nou i performant, asigurndu-ne prin aceasta viitorul luminos i prosper de care avem atta nevoie.

USPEE a Promoter of the European Higher Education

Area

After 1990, with the multiple changes, which had taken place in the society of the Republic of Moldova, there inter-vened modifications as to the organiza-tion of university education.

In this respect, there was adopted in 1997 the decision of Moldova State Uni-versity, which took up the initiative of the Assistant professors P. Fruntau and N. Laiu concerning a unordinary foun-dation the Institute of Political Studies and International Relations, subsequently the University of Political and Economic European Studies ,,Constantin Stere.

15 years have passed a period dur-ing which there have intervened many changes, but, in spite of time, the homage institution in its formation proved to be viable, demonstrated to be capable to re-solve the most complicated problems.

With this pleasant occasion, we ad-dress sincere congratulations and best wishes to those who have graduated and those who study at the moment in the new private higher institution; and especially to Mr.Gheorghe Avornic, rec-tor of USPEE, University Professor; to didactic and management personnel, to all the members of the staff, who, by their noble work, offer loving care, knowledge, capacities they have and directly contrib-ute to the formation of the present and future of the Republic of Moldova. They have assumed, in these 15 years, complete responsibility, to manage, with much patience and self-sacrifice, the learning youth to the light of knowledge, to the truth and wisdom of the thought. Hav-ing passed this path, we are sure that this temple of knowledge fulfills its mission

with abnegation full of responsibility, of edification and consolidation of Moldo-van state system, of community evolu-tion, being fully engaged in the develop-ment of all the systems, which guarantee social ascension. Or, the education, espe-cially the higher education, constitutes the pillar of resistance of a really free so-ciety that would support a strong state.

A stage, which is also marked by US-PEE activity in all its aspects, constitutes the evaluation and accreditation of the institution,, offering the opportunity to identify new ways of development of the university. This demonstrates the vast in-tellectual potential, modern educational paradigms, the performing technical and material basis, high standards all of them being guaranteed by a professional educational management. Therefore, the University ,,Constantin Stere has the right to consider itself a promoter of Eu-ropean Space higher education.

There should be also appreciated the efforts of the institution concerning the integration in the international univer-sity world. Thus, during its activity, the university signed cooperation agree-ments with many university centers in Greece, Romania, the United States of America, Belgia, the Ukraine, the Rus-sian Federation, Canada, France, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Turkey, etc. At all the uni-versity departments there are theoretical and practical courses taught by professors from the above enumerated countries.

Due to this cooperation, USPEE, an-nually, registers new performances as to the familiarization and implementation of new forms of organization of educa-tional process and research, of new per-forming educational technologies, a fact that contributes to the propagation of its image on the university national market, becoming more and more credible and

more attractive for the young students, because they are our future. Why do we try and do our best to carry out the best things, to give them the necessary knowledge and to form the best skills, for us all to be in full measure the beneficia-ries of the results of progress generated by knowledge..

Now more than ever we feel the ne-cessity of some efficient mechanisms, concerning the solution of problems our community is confronted with, and in this meaning, USPEE is here to train in its laboratory real professionals, receptive to everything that is new and performing, guaranteeing in this way the bright and prosper future that wee need so much.

Anii ce vin sunt de o complexitate tot mai pregnant, generat de provocrile timpurilor, pe care le trim, i de evoluia accelerat a lucrurilor.

UNIVERSITY OFEUROPEAN POLITICAL

AND ECONOMIC STUDIES ,,Constantin Stere a Gate

to European Space of Higher Education and Research

Research knowledge and technology abilities to create new things have been a propulsion of the evolution of civiliza-tion since times immemorial, becoming at present obligatory conditions of the economic and social ascension. These at-tributes have taken root in our country as well. It is sufficient to remember one of the first European civilizations that of Cucuteni, of more than 5000 years. We find their deep roots in popular cre-ation, as in the proverb ,,cine are carte are parte(=Who is literate lives better) or the idiomatic expression ,,meter-faur (=ironsmith master).

The process of cognition and forma-tion of knowledge by research has been institutionalized at the level of organized system when universities were founded. They can be considered as magic doors to world of progress. On the old Europe-an continent, universities have paved the way for Renaissance and the first undus-trial revolution. In the Romanian space, they appeared much later, but their ben-eficial effect on the evolution of events is quite clear. Later there appeared univer-sities on our Trans-Prut territory. Their number has increased after the declara-tion of independence of the Republic of Moldova n 1991.

In this context, in 1997, the founda-tion of the University of European Po-litical and Economic Studies (USPEE) Constantin Stere, came to complete the space of higher educational institutions of the Republic of Moldova, promoting the

concept of modern university as a centre of education, research and culture.

Day by day during 15 years USPEE ,,Constantin Stere has combined skill-fully these three university connecting elements, becoming an important chain in the native educational system, work-ing out a renaissance by opening another gate towards the European integration of the Republic of Moldova. This anni-versary of USPEE surely is a holyday of the teaching staff and students, who fully deserve the homage of the society for everything they have carried out during this period. thus, USPEE has significant-ly contributed to enhancing the quality of education, research and affirmation the democratic future of the country. The identification and promotion of val-ues have become the conviction of the personnel of the University of European Political and Economic Studies (USPEE) Constantin Stere, in this respect, the teachers teach their disciples, and the obtained results can be considered as remarkable success. An eloquent proof, in this meaning, is the large number of graduates of the mentioned institution, which functions today successfully in the structures of our country, exercising im-portant public functions. The institution has permanently demonstrated substan-tial efforts in the implantation of vast, accessible and qualitative knowledge to students. These 15 years of the University are a reliable proof of a positive evolu-tion and qualitative growth of image of the of the native university educational system, with inherent professionalism, competence, wisdom, spirit of innova-tion, flexibility, rapid adaptation to chal-lenge of time. But, at the same time, the respective anniversary is an occasion to put in relief the realizations and, why not, some failures, in order to identify

new sectors of intellectual development and affirmation, reconfiguration of the platform of development of the next stages, being under the incidence of the Bologna Process. The coming years are of a more evident complexity, generated by time provocations we are having, and by the accelerated evolution of events. We are sure that the University will stand the challenges and succeed not only in the national competition of universities, but also in the European one, to keep up with name of USPEE European Studies. At this ,,young age, USPEE ,,Constantin Stere has become a prestigious univer-sity centre, in which are perpetuated the best traditions and values, promoted by a collective of professional didactic per-sonnel, involved in various scientific and practical projects, ready to respond ad-equately to complex situations, accept-ing indispensable changes of our times. USPEE ,,Constantin Stere harmoni-ously combines the tradition and change, to grasp the equilibrium between these two guiding lines, because the tradition without change is a deadlock, and change without tradition is madness as a phi-losopher says. In this context, USPEE is involved at most in an ample educational reform, which deals with the improve-ment of standards and the creation of a progressive regime of didactic education integrated with research and innovation.

Thus, at the end of this cordial mes-sage of congratulation, addressed to the hardworking and devoted USPEE ,,Con-stantin Stere personnel, I come with the best wishes of perpetuation of the pro-cess of knowledge and authentic research in the university class-rooms, wishing sincerely that the professors and students of this university to be the worthy bear-ers of the image of higher education of the Republic Moldova.

Pages from the Universitys History

The University of European Politi-cal and Economic Studies Constantin Stere is the successor of the Institute of Political Studies and International Re-lations (IPSIR), founded on July 28th, 1997. The founder and first rector of the Institute is Platon Fruntasu, Ph.D., asso-ciate professor, who exercised this func-tion until 2009. In 1999, as a co-founder participated Nicoale Laiu, Ph.D., Assis-tant Professor.

From the outset, the Institute promot-ed a policy of performance in education, oriented towards standards and values of a modern democratic society. In or-der to implement these important tasks, the principle objectives are established which form the basis for the instruction of highly qualified staff. Thus, the Insti-tute has contributed to a new generation of professionals and researchers, opinion leaders and public officials who are able to assume responsibility for achieving the transition to a democratic form of orga-nization in our country.

At the very beginning, at IPSIR, there were two Faculties:

a) Faculty of Political Studies: Politi-cal Science with specialty Political Sci-ences and Legal Training;

b) Faculty of International Relations: International Relations.

Dean of the Faculty of Political Stud-ies was Andrei Costas, Doctor in Phi-losophy, Associate Professor while Dean of the Faculty of International Relations was Constantin Esanu, professor.

During the same period, the follow-ing departments were created: Political and Legal Education, International Rela-

tions, and Applied Foreign Languages.Subsequently, given the need to study

profoundly the experience of countries with old democratic traditions, as well as the aspirations of the Republic of Moldova to join the European family, in 2001, the Faculty of International Rela-tions introduced the specialties Ameri-can Studies and European Studies.

As a result of an official contest, Pan-telimon Varzari, Doctor in Philosophy, Associate Professor, became head of the Department of Political Science and Le-gal Education, and Grigorie Vasilescu, PhD in Philosophy, professor, became Head of the International Relations De-partment; Nicholas Cosuleanu, lecture, became head of the Department of Ap-plied Foreign Languages.

As vice rector for education, by order of the rector, was promoted Nicholas Laiu, PhD in history, professor.

In order to ensure control over the quality of the educational process, in 1999, a methodological commission was created at IPSIR, which, among others, was concerned with analyzing the content of curricula and syllabuses and their compliance with educational standards. Issues related to implement-ing new interactive teaching and learn-ing were discussed. Books, method-ological brochures and scientific articles were submitted and finally approved for publication, etc. Nicholae Laiu was ap-pointed responsible for the activity of the methodological commission.

The educational process was guided by the specialists O. Bradu and M. Ce-banovschi, experts with extensive expe-rience in this field.

From the academic year 2001-2002, students were admitted to study part-time International Relations, Political

Considering this fact, in 2005, 19 Mem-bers of Parliament of the 17th Legisla-ture, and in 2008, 15 members of Parlia-ment of the 18th Legislature graduated from Political Sciences (part-time).

In October 2001, in order to inten-sify ties with similar institutions abroad and taking into account the need for more effective cooperation, the Depart-ment of International Cooperation was created. Its first director was Dumitru Vasilescu. The Departments objectives and tasks have been achieved through a series of concrete activities that will be understood more fully in a section.

Also in 2001, Iurie Leanca, former deputy minister of Foreign Affairs of RM, currently Deputy Minister of For-eign Affairs and European Integration, was promoted as vice rector for interna-tional cooperation. By decision of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport of the Republic of Moldova (no. 441 of 27 October 2005 and published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Mol-dova, 151, 153 of November 11, 2005), the Institute of Political Studies and International Relations was accredited, including the specialties International Relations, Political Sciences and Po-litical and Legal Education.

On January 18th, 2007, the Institute of Political Studies and International Relations University was reorganized into the University of European Politi-cal and Economic Studies and registered with the State Registration of the Minis-

try of Information with the number MD 0058965.

This reorganization was driven by a substantial growth in the teaching staff s potential and in the experience gained during years of activity, which allowed taking a new step in the train-ing of young specialists. The reorgani-zation did not imply only a mechanical renaming of the institution, but also a complex modernization of manage-ment and the quality of the teaching ac-tivity in conformity with the standards of the Bologna process and the needs of the Moldovan labor market. Thus, the University has introduced a number of significant changes, which were de-rived directly from the European and national commitments assumed by our country.

In 2008, the composition of the co-founders was modified. As a result, the family of Professor Gheorghe Avornic became co-founders; later, the latter transmitted a controlling amount of shares to the European Public Law Or-ganization, based in Athens, Greece.

In the same year, USPEE continued the activity in its premises, located in downtown Chisinau, Stefan cel Mare Street, 200. Here, students have ac-cess to modern lecture halls, computer classes with Internet, a library, medical facilities, etc.

In 2011, by joint decision of the co-founders, Gheorghe Avornic, PhD in jurisprudence, professor, became Rec-tor of USPEE. By decision of the Aca-demic Senate of February 24th, 2011, the University of European Political and Economic Studies was named after Constantin Stere - an illustrious per-sonality - lawyer, politician and writer, born in the County of Soroca, author of

As a result of these successive trans-formations, USPEE became an institu-tion of higher education which has the financial independence and freedom to promote its policy aimed at a revival of elite education in the Republic of Mol-dova and integrating the national high-er education in the area of European higher education. In this context, major objectives of the University of European Political and Economic Studies are:

Revival of traditions of quality education in Central and Southeast Eu-rope,

Creating a flexible system of educa-tion, adapted to the current and future labor market,

Establishing partnerships with lo-cal and central public authorities, inter-national structures and business,

Developing a complex scientific ac-tivity and establishing national and in-ternational research partnerships,

Curriculum diversification through assimilation of the latest studies and de-velopments in science in political sci-ence, economics and law,

Promote European integration pro-cesses by full implication of Moldova on the way towards European integration;

Education of Moldovan citizens in terms of citizen rights and fundamental human freedoms;

Contributing to the personal cre-ativity of teachers and students.

Education of specialists is carried out

40


according to the guidelines for profes-sional training/ specialties for train-ing of specialists in higher education. The first step, Cycle I, ends with the BA exam, which includes an academic test, a test in the specialty, and the diploma thesis, after which graduates are award-ed the title of BA. The second stage, Cy-cle II, ends with a public Master thesis, after which graduates receive the title of Master. USPEE graduates enjoy special recommendations from international organizations, state institutions, CEOs of enterprises. Many university gradu-ates have opened their own businesses; others have excelled abroad: in the USA, France, UK, Israel, etc.

USPEE will contribute to the forma-tion of a new generation of profession-als and researchers, officials, judges and businessmen, able to assume responsi-bility for achieving the transition to de-mocracy, a market economy and civil society. USPEE offers its students the opportunity to combine different forms of academic activities, and formative re-search. At these activities also participate guest professors. USPEEs administration organizes conferences and lectures of well-known professors from countries of Central and South-East Europe, Western Europe, CIS and the USA. This activity is a priority issue in USPEEs educational programs, as guest lecturers bring with them new ideas, original practices and research methodology, often unknown in our country. With some institutions in Moldova and abroad, USPEE signed cooperation agreements. However, stu-dents also enjoy another advantage - they are served by a specialized scientific uni-versity library.

As a rather mobile and adaptable ed-ucational institution, USPEE is always
