Hello, everyone.
00:03 - 00:06
This is role and I'm going to present the my
00:06 - 00:09
dissertation project for dissertation research module.
00:11 - 00:13
My question is, when it comes to the national interest,
00:14 - 00:17
Romanian MPs take decision based on more dignity or personal
00:17 - 00:21
agenda. How those classical really play a role on how
00:21 - 00:24
specific policies are adopted here.
00:24 - 00:26
I'm going to explain it to you to a variety
00:27 - 00:27
of information.
00:28 - 00:31
I'm going to have four slides for the idea of
00:31 - 00:32
why it came to me.
00:32 - 00:37
How, when presented and why choose those this idea that
00:37 - 00:40
is the theory part where I'm going to present my
00:40 - 00:44
theories and theories, which I'm I want to explore further
00:45 - 00:49
on the methodology were I'm going to explain exactly what
00:49 - 00:52
kind of methodology wants to use and why, and then
00:52 - 00:55
the final part where I'm going to explain more about
00:55 - 00:57
it. The idea.
00:58 - 00:58
Brilliant or unimpressive.
00:59 - 01:03
I put this because I think that it's going to
01:03 - 01:06
be a real struggle and the challenge to find out
01:06 - 01:07
if it's actually a brilliant idea.
01:08 - 01:12
If I'm going to do good research and I'm going
01:12 - 01:16
to find out if this really really holds the power
01:17 - 01:19
in all days or unimpressive at all and I'm just
01:20 - 01:23
going to do basic research where I'm going to find
01:23 - 01:26
out something or none or just come with the contradictory
01:27 - 01:27
to it.
01:29 - 01:31
The idea of my dissertation project is to find out
01:31 - 01:34
if the ego of politicians or the last for power
01:34 - 01:37
has been stated by Morgan Stanley in 1948 affects the
01:37 - 01:39
development of state policies today.
01:40 - 01:43
The moment I decided to approach this idea was the
01:43 - 01:43
moment I looked on hold.
01:44 - 01:49
Voices are decided in some cases by the government, the
01:49 - 01:51
road to success in order to test my hypothesis that
01:51 - 01:54
will approach specific policies which have been adopted to the
01:54 - 01:57
past years by the Romanian government and explain how these
01:57 - 01:59
policies have been shaped or altered by politicians.
02:00 - 02:03
This is a very specific one because I want to
02:03 - 02:07
take some laws and amendments which have been made in
02:07 - 02:14
the Justice law through the 2016 to 2017, uh, and
02:14 - 02:18
had a huge impact on several cases and has been
02:18 - 02:22
looked on it as been only influential for some specific
02:22 - 02:27
politicians, while others said that the law had no effect
02:27 - 02:27
at all.
02:28 - 02:31
And I want to find out if that was really
02:31 - 02:32
the case or not?
02:33 - 02:35
Mhm. Mhm.
02:35 - 02:37
When I'm going to the theory, I based my topic,
02:38 - 02:41
um, two principal theories, realism and idealism.
02:43 - 02:47
I'm going to explain why and how this affected is
02:48 - 02:48
going to start with idealism.
02:49 - 02:54
The key author and idealism is rational effort, which, yes,
02:55 - 02:57
I'm not sure if I can catalog it as a
02:57 - 02:59
truly idealist or not.
03:00 - 03:05
But he has a very good understanding on how the
03:05 - 03:11
fight between realist man the idealist was a challenge to
03:11 - 03:12
the thirties and twenties.
03:13 - 03:16
And if it was a real fight, it actually had
03:16 - 03:17
been an effect on it.
03:17 - 03:20
And I want to find out if the fight it's
03:21 - 03:26
still persisting nowadays and how it actually affects policymakers or
03:26 - 03:28
if it does actually affect them.
03:29 - 03:29
Or maybe not.
03:29 - 03:33
Maybe it's just something that has no effect at all,
03:33 - 03:35
But I'm really curious about this fact.
03:36 - 03:39
I want to find out how it can influence the
03:39 - 03:41
realist theory.
03:42 - 03:43
Yeah, realism.
03:45 - 03:50
They choose four different authors, first of it, of course,
03:51 - 03:57
Hans Morgenthau all, which acknowledges the moral significance of political
03:57 - 04:01
action but recognized the necessity of immorality and successful politics.
04:02 - 04:05
This being said, it's very interesting to see if politicians
04:06 - 04:11
actually take and base their decision on for better community
04:12 - 04:16
for developing the country or the policies which affect economics,
04:18 - 04:20
jurisdiction, everything.
04:20 - 04:23
And if they are doing it for the better, sole
04:24 - 04:28
purpose of creating a better community or not, or if
04:28 - 04:32
they are actually doing it just for gaining a better
04:32 - 04:39
political advantage or for showing that they're better politicians or
04:40 - 04:46
not. Mm Janet Watts is the second one was distinguished
04:47 - 04:49
the honor here of the international environment from the order
04:50 - 04:50
of the domestic one.
04:51 - 04:53
From here on, I would like to explore how this
04:53 - 04:57
can influence the decision makers of politics, of policies in
04:57 - 04:58
domestic policies.
04:59 - 05:02
And here I'm going to take some personal examples, especially
05:03 - 05:08
from how MPs and European commissioners have tried to influence
05:09 - 05:11
domestic policies in several countries.
05:12 - 05:16
I'm curious if they have a real effect for the
05:16 - 05:20
only purpose that they there are European MPs and because
05:20 - 05:23
they hold more influence or if that influence can be
05:23 - 05:28
used for personal gains and if that can be included
05:29 - 05:34
in how they are actually changing those things and how
05:34 - 05:38
they are actually trying to influence the country or another
05:38 - 05:44
in taking some certain policies and from from what's understanding.
05:44 - 05:47
I want also to prove or to find out if
05:48 - 05:55
the international environment has a bigger impact on domestic politics
05:55 - 05:58
than most of the people believe so because many people
05:58 - 06:01
will say that international doesn't have any problem with it.
06:01 - 06:05
But in today's world, in the whole globalization and this
06:05 - 06:10
interconnected world, I would say that international environment plays a
06:10 - 06:12
huge role on how domestic policies are taken.
06:13 - 06:18
Talking from lobbyist to just knowledge is of different politicians.
06:21 - 06:25
Thomas Hobbes is my third chose chosen author.
06:26 - 06:29
Hopes Theory of release came with the idea that talent
06:29 - 06:32
he's focused on politics as a contest for who gains
06:32 - 06:32
more power.
06:33 - 06:34
And I want to find out if this has a
06:35 - 06:36
real impact on politicians today.
06:36 - 06:40
I want to see if the Leviathan is still alive
06:40 - 06:44
in the in the governmental system today, and if it's
06:45 - 06:51
true that many of the politicians have actually just did
06:51 - 06:55
policies and they're trying to create new policies for their
06:55 - 07:04
personal gain, for their there differential of of gain power
07:04 - 07:07
from themselves or for the party and how this actually
07:08 - 07:10
has the influence on on them.
07:10 - 07:15
I want to see if there is still like via
07:16 - 07:19
button, or how he wants to explain the leviathan as
07:19 - 07:25
the system the system between besides, interconnected with the government
07:26 - 07:28
and every other institution like that.
07:33 - 07:35
The last one is Michael Water, which comes through the
07:35 - 07:38
concept of dirty hands and how it can influence the
07:39 - 07:42
policy makers and politicians to take specific action based on
07:42 - 07:43
their own agenda.
07:44 - 07:48
On this case, I I took the dirty hands concept,
07:49 - 07:51
and I'm curious how it actually affects them.
07:52 - 07:53
Dirty hands concept.
07:53 - 07:57
It's, I will say something like the Machiavellian concept of
07:57 - 08:02
the purpose excuses, the means which it's often used by
08:02 - 08:05
politicians. Or at least this is what the large public
08:06 - 08:10
believes. And I personally want to find out if this
08:10 - 08:13
is true, if this is still used by the politicians
08:13 - 08:18
nowadays, if politicians still believe that in some cases they
08:19 - 08:24
can get dirty on their hands and if that's possible,
08:25 - 08:28
how it can affect the policy makers and the laws,
08:30 - 08:33
yeah, Now I'm going to explain you how I saw
08:33 - 08:37
the methodology Methodology will be represented by a different set
08:37 - 08:37
of data.
08:39 - 08:45
First interviews with political actors, where I included policymakers, party
08:46 - 08:51
members and everyone who can hold our head awards saying,
08:51 - 08:56
in creating amendments, creating laws or policies, and I want
08:57 - 09:00
to find out on what they based their decisions, why
09:01 - 09:04
they did put some amendments, why they took out some
09:05 - 09:09
amendments. Why these specific words, why they think that some
09:09 - 09:12
laws were better than others, and so on.
09:13 - 09:16
Articles and comments made by specific politicians where I'm discussing,
09:17 - 09:21
especially about the articles news, what they have used years
09:22 - 09:27
ago and how it influences their their thinking, our hives,
09:28 - 09:28
websites and newspapers.
09:30 - 09:33
Here's where I'm going to get the data from years
09:34 - 09:37
on to see exactly how they had specific values or
09:38 - 09:42
ideas years ago and how that shaped their views and
09:42 - 09:42
the values for today.
09:44 - 09:50
National database you and database for secondary data laws and
09:50 - 09:55
constitutions here specifically on how the laws have been created,
09:55 - 09:58
why there is a specific law still in place now
09:58 - 10:01
and how it influences the gains of politicians or not,
10:03 - 10:06
and politicians, background, key facts and other information which is
10:06 - 10:10
going to be retrieved from their CVS from I don't
10:10 - 10:13
know other people and information.
10:14 - 10:19
Yeah, the final part of the dissertation will include the
10:19 - 10:23
bibliography, the and results of my conducted research, the conclusion
10:24 - 10:25
and the reference list.
10:26 - 10:30
And at the final, I want to know if I
10:30 - 10:32
made the best decision on taking this approach.
10:33 - 10:36
If I'm going to do my research well enough and
10:36 - 10:42
find out if my conclusion is as high in understanding
10:43 - 10:46
as my hypothesis, thank you very much.
