“O petala de trandafir” este o poveste de dragoste a celor doi indragostiti. O petala de trandafir era acea scinteie, care a fost sa se aprinda intr-o flacara, ce avea sa mistuie totul in jur, sa se transforme intr-o mare iubire, ca o vraja spre calea fericirii. Eroii principali, Dorin si Dorina, trecind prin cele mai grele obstacole a vietii, au pastrat puritatea si curatenia dragostei, necatind ca Siberia i-au despartit.

Securitization and Democratization reveals the mutual dependency between democratization and securitization, two processes that while evolving reinforce each other. The study of the democratic consolidation is complemented by the more complex and dynamic securitization elements that offer an in-depth view of the internal threats to be faced. Ms. Stefan’s analysis creates an articulated and coherent concept underlying the close dependence between democracy and security. As a study case, Romania provides a wide scale of situations in several security sectors and contributes to building a model that is operational in any post-communist society.
