Abstract (Rezumat în limba engleză): The Euro-Atlantic integration represents Romania's main political and social goal. Should this step be a successful institutionalization or should it determine a reactualization of the traditional metaphor of "structures without content"? The study the author has proposed regarding the military personnel's standards, as a socio-professional group, which is directly involved into the integration process, offers us an optimistic answer to this question According to his analysis, "the military's system of values is mainly oriented toward transparency, modernity and change", being compatible with the armed forces reform project. This system of values will be an important resource to be used in the armed forces restructuring process and Romanian society as well. The author argues that the system of values of the Romanian military personnel will represent a valuable institutional asset, that have to be taken into account into the process of Romanian integration in the Euro-Atlantic structures.

Abstract (Rezumat în limba engleză): The paper is devoted to a comparative analysis of two scales for measuring poverty at village level. The discussion is focused on the grid for poverty measurement in the practice of Romanian Social Development Fund to target poverty alleviation. The analysis points out to the fact that, in the last three years the grid functioned effectively to identification of poor villages and implicitly to the implementation of poverty alleviation at community level. The kind of poverty targeted by the grid is particularly associated with distance items (village location versus commune center, versus nearest town, modernized roads, county chef-lieu etc). The study assess the grid from the point of view of measuring village poverty in different geographical areas. Comparing grid measurement of village poverty with another measure based on estimations of different types of capital (human, social, material, vital, cultural) results that the RSDF tool is has a rather poor ability to cope with difference in poverty associated with mountain-plain differences. The final part of the paper makes clear the relations among household poverty, rural community poverty and physical environment. The causal profile for different types of consumptions at the household level are showed to be significantly different and with consequences for development policies.

Abstract (Rezumat în limba engleză): The study proposes a theoretic model for explaining collective action, using as a starling point the theories of rational choice and of social capital. The model was tested using structural analysis for a case study of the Association of the Orchardists of Dâmboviţa. The case is interesting not only because it represents an exceptional occurrence in our country (that of a professional association in the rural area), but also because it offers a model for the development of other regions of the Romanian rural area.
