Abstract: In 2004 I thought that what was called „transition” had been completed and a new perspective for Romania had been opened. As a sociologist I published a book on critical analysis of those 15 years of profound social change. I was wrong. Another 7 years of confusion and sorrow has followed. In January 2012 I considered a new critical analysis of transition was necessary and I wrote this paper. The paper has two parts. The first part is dedicated to the analysis of the state in the process of transition. Arguments are brought out that state had been a key variable of the entire process of changes. There was a competition between two structural tendencies: on the one hand what is usually called promotion of the legal state; on the other hand we can identify a strong structural tendency what I call neofeudal state: the state as an important source of exploration of its resources by the new groups in power; a transfer of the public resources not from up to down, but contrary from down to up. The neofeudal state is responsible for the economic destructive process of privatisation and for producing the mechanisms of neofeudal exploration of the state and population what are usually called corruption. The second part of the paper try to identify the historical alternatives Romania has in the present situation: a prosperous capitalism and socially cohesive or a precarious capitalism socially polarised.

Keywords: transition, neofeudal state, prosperous capitalism, precarious capitalism.                                                            

Cuvinte-cheie: tranziţie; stat de drept; stat neofeudal; capitalismul prosper şi coeziv; capitalism precar polarizat social.

Abstract: This article discusses the results of empirical research which determines the level of consumer ethnocentrism of Polish and Romanian citizens. The main source material has been obtained through direct interviews conducted in two cities: Rzeszow (Poland) and Oradea (Romania), on a sample of 800 respondents (of 400 people in each city), chosen in the quota way. The quotas were – gender, age and education. As a measuring instrument, international CETSCALE questionnaire translated into languages: Polish and Romanian has been used. In order to eliminate any inaccuracies in translation, which could cause lower effectiveness of a given measuring tool, the CETSCALE questionnaire was validated. The presented analyses show that Polish and Romanian consumers have ethnocentric tendencies. The obtained CETSCALE value is the proof – the respondents from Poland achieved 65,8 points, however, the Romanian ones were a little bit lower and had 60,5 points. The empirical studies also showed the influence of socio-economic factors on the level of consumer ethnocentrism among Polish and Romanian respondents. It turned out, that women from both countries tend to be more ethnocentric then men. Crucial differences have been noticed in the summary CETSCALE, in relation to three levels of Polish and Romanian consumers` education. The respondents with elementary and vocational education have much more negative attitude to imported products than the respondents who have secondary and higher education. It also results from the received data, that the elderly people in both questioned communities are characterized by stronger ethnocentric tendencies in relation to foreign products. Crucial dependencies have also been seen between income and the summary CETSCALE value.

Keywords: consumer ethnocentrism; CETSCALE questionnaire; the empirical study of Poland and Romania.

Cuvinte-cheie: etnocentrismul consumatorului; chestionar CETSCALE; studiu empiric în Polonia şi România.
