Le vieillissement de la population – indice de la repulsion des espaces ruraux. Le cas de la Roumanie

The Ageing of the Population – Indice of the rural Repulsiveness. Romanian exemple. This study follows some previous research (Muntele, 1994; 1996 etc.) about the population restructuring process, based on the age criteria, during the last decades. Population ageing has been used as an indicator for the rural spaces repulsiveness. Regional analysis based on the last census (there are 13749 places officially registered) lead to the conclusion about the strong relation between the ageing process and the repulsiveness of some rural spaces even if there are also some regional particularities and distortions. The future demographic developmental axes are coming into view, being separated by the areas labeled by the depopulation imminence.  The presented typology proves the contraction process of the population system, as a consequence of the demographic decline

Etudier le polycentrisme des systemes urbains de la Roumanie et de la Bulgarie

Eseu asupra  policentrismului sistemelor urbane din România şi Bulgaria. Sistemele urbane sunt marcate de o continuă dinamică iar cele două state luate în discuţie pot constitui un obiect de studio exemplar pentru modul în care factorul politic, în condiţii istorice specifice, poate dirija evoluţia raporturilor ierarhice, la diverse scări, în întreg spaţiul aferent. Ilustrat de o serie de materiale grafice inedite, rezultat al aplicării unor metode avansate de introspecţie a acestui sensibil domeniu, articolul propune şi o serie de teme de reflecţie la adresa celor care gestionează structurile teritoriale din cele două state, în special asupra necesităţii sprijinirii acelor centre cu şanse de a deveni veritabile centre de echilibru într-o lume dominată de marile metropole

Les dynamiques de l’internationalisation economique – entre le deficit d’attractivite locale et l’evolution contrastee des activites

The dynamics of the economical internationalisation – between local attractivity deficit and contrasting activities evolution. The shift and share analysis may seem quite simple and common, but is actually an ingenious and somehow deep theoretical model, able to provide some strong insights regarding the economic landscape. Based on a sample database including the location of foreign enterprises in Romania for the transition period (1991-2004), we have applied this theoretical approach in order to emphasize the linkage and the tension between local attractiveness and economic branch dynamics, showing that the globalization of the Romanian territory is far from being complete and spatial homogenous.
