Abstract
COMMON ACTIVITIES, HABITS AS WELL AS TRADITIONS AND CULTURE ARE THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF COMMUNITIES AND SOCIETIES THEMSELVES . THESE CHA RACTERISTICS REFLECT THE DECISION-MAKING MADE BY INDIVIDUALS, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THEY LIVE, BEING IN CLOSE CORRELATION WITH THIS ENVIRONMENT AND AS THE ENVIRONMENT CHANGES AUTOMATICALLY CHANGES OCCUR IN SOCIAL NORMS. PHENOMENA SUC H AS SOCIAL CHANGE AND MI GRATION HAVE BEGUN TO ATTRACT MORE AND MORE BOTH THE INTEREST OF RESEARCHERS AND DECISION -MAKERS. THIS INTEREST SEEKS TO OVERCOME THE SIMPLISTIC AND GEO -DETERMINISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPACT THAT HUMAN MOBILITY HAS ON STRUCTURA L CHANGES IN SOCIETY. THIS HA S LED TO THE RECOGNITION OF THE IDEA OF "MIGRATION AS ADAPTATION" IN RESEARCH ON MIGRATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT (REFERRING HERE TO THE ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, AND CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT). ROMANIA HAS ALWAYS KNOWN THE PHENOMENON OF MIGRATION, A PHENOMENON THAT HAS EXPERIENCED FLUCTUATIONS MAINLY DETERMINED BY THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT. MORE PRECISELY FROM THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONTEXT IN WHICH THE COUNTRY WAS FOUND, OR, IN THE RECENT PERIOD, THIS PHENOMENON HAS BEEN INFLUENCED BY THE PROCESS OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION AND BY OTHER ELEMENTS THAT FA VOR THE MOBILITY OF INDIVIDUALS AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL.
