The transition from communism to democracy failed in Romania, at least from the perspective of establishing a society made up of responsible citizens and able to make a substantial contribution to public life. Our democratic deficit reflects the existence of a pronounced non-participatory culture and civic consciousness, which is later reflected in the quality of governance and accountability of the elected. What the Center aims is to make a contribution in this regard, giving an impetus to the participation of the university environment in the life of Romanian society. In other words, CeSIP is intended to be a link between academia and Romanian society.

Therefore, the Center for Studies in Political Ideas has the following objectives:

– Civil society development – through the projects and civic initiatives that CeSIP organizes, aims to contribute to the development of civil and political society in Romania: providing advice in the field of activity of the association, organizing training courses, seminars, conferences, debates as well as public awareness activities.

– Development of an alternative form of education and critical thinking – through all the activities organized by CeSIP, it is always a meta-objective, a present goal due to the importance we give both critical thinking and especially the fact that any experience must be considered as a relevant educational input for any participant. As developed activities there are also study circles on various topics, screenings, debates and workshops, all to cover the syncopes of the current educational system.

– Development of scientific research – the association encourages the formation and coordination of interdisciplinary teams in order to develop scientific research projects. CeSIP has as main areas of expertise the following fields of research: Eastern European Studies, Oriental and Post-Colonial Studies, Political Ideologies in Eastern Europe, Minorities, Communism / Post-Communism, Problems of Democratization in Romania and Eastern Europe, Political Parties, Political Communication, Public Policies, Political Participation, Epistemology of Social-Political Sciences, etc.
