Sindicatele şi sistemul democratic
The trade unions and the democratic system
Cristinel Bleandă
Abstract: This study´s aim is to compare the democratic system with the principles of trade unions’ activity. The political regimes were divided considering the methods of elaborating and enforcing social norms. The democratic regimes allow the trade unions to exist and formulate critics regarding the social sub-systems functioning. If in the authoritarian regimes the state and the political elite have all the privileges, in democracy the trade unions became almost the strongest organisations, by having the possibility to organise as independent in relation with the political leadership, but many times against it. The power of the trade unions consists on the fundamental principle of democracy: public contestation. Still, the very new context presents some threats adressed to political and trade unions organisations. The activity of social partners has effects on the social system performances, and that is why we have to know which are the new challenges that not only government and trade unions have to face, but all the present and future societies will have to tackle.

Greva generală a profesorilor din noiembrie 2005 şi jocul politic. O analiză de conţinut
The November 2005 teachers' general strike and political games. A Content Analysis
Mircea Agabrian*
*Alba Iulia University
Abstract: This study attempts to draw attention to the value of the modern technique of content analysis, which is situated in an unique position as a methodology mainly focused on message analysis in its written form. We relied on the most advanced epistemological position to date, which claims that the content of a text emerges in the process of text analysis made by the researcher in connection with a particular context, and not as a feature inherent in the text itself. We applied the advanced analysis technique called ‘statistical content analysis’, which is the instrument for the management of information in large databases, to find out the patterns or hidden relationships in the unstructured texts collected from newspapers. The process of finding out the meaning transformed the texts into structured textual data, which enabled us to use Multivariate Analysis Techniques such as Hierarchical Cluster Analysis, Multidimensional Scaling and Correspondence Analysis. Relying on this empirical base, we proceeded to make a qualitative analysis, thus achieving the integration of quantitative and qualitative paradigms in sociological research.
