Câteva aspecte privind participarea în organizaţii de protecţie a mediului în România şi Europa
Aspects regarding participation in environmental organizations in Romania and Europe
Laura Nistor
Abstract: Environmental sociology frequently accentuates the role of active citizenship and civic involvement in the prevention of ecological problems, respectively problem-solving. Two ways in which active environmental citizenship can manifest itself are represented by the passive or active (volunteering) participation in environmental organizations (NGOs). In fact, such behaviors illustrate specific manifestations of the formal (associative) social capital, and from a political point of view circumscribe one important arena of environmental governance. There exist important contributions related to the case of formal social capital, however those studies investigating the case of participation in environmental associations are less frequent, at least in terms of exploring the social, demographic, axiological, political, etc. profiles of the participants. The present research aims to realize an individual-level study in this regard: based on data provided by the European Values Survey 1999 (Europe) and European Values Survey/Public Opinion Barometer, autumn 2005 (Romania) the profile of participants and volunteers in environmental NGOs will be explored.
Keywords: environmental organisations, participation, social capital, environmental attitudes.
Cuvinte-cheie: organizaţii de protecţie a mediului, participare, capital social, atitudini faţă de mediul înconjurător.

Teorii ale identităţii colective: între esenţialism şi constructivism. De la identitate la identificare
Collective identity theories - between essentialism and constructivism. From identity to identification
Horaţiu Rusu
Abstract: This article analyses the essentialist-constructivist debate in the field of the theories of collective identities. First the author identifies the main assumptions of the identity conceptions in both perspectives, their common traits and their critics. Then it is argued that the relation between the essentialist theories of identity and the constructivist ones should be seen rather as of hybridization than of opposition. Considering this, a working definition and a methodological way of analysing the collective identity concept is proposed.
