Research: Boundaries of sustainability: a legal anthropological look at the energy transition in Romania, between norm and practice.

Simona Fabiola Girneata is a doctoral student in the Theory of Orders Curriculum, she is a researcher and collaborator for MNEM Society of Applied Anthropology. During her training at the University of Bologna and at the University Pantheon Sorbonne 1 in Paris her research activity structured by a legal anthropological methodology has focused in the areas of human rights, religious pluralism, environmental justice and cultural heritage.

Through an ethnographic-legal approach, the objective of her research entitled: Boundaries of sustainability: a legal anthropological look at the energy transition in Romania, between norm and practice, is to co-construct in an intercultural nomothetic perspective the local feedbacks indispensable to the legitimisation of environmental policy interventions. Without taking into account local cultural/religious needs and specificities, it is not possible to foresee the effects of normative interventions aimed at profoundly affecting the human subject/space relationship.
Through a comparative analysis between the Romanian case and the experience of other Member States, in particular France, the aim is to bring out a series of data that can serve as explanatory indices of why a European regulatory design inspired by a homogeneous levelling of the green revolution is impossible.
The deficits in the implementation of Community standards exist, they are as multi-sited as they are heterogeneous, and they are already partly evident. The proposed result is to be able to develop an interdisciplinary theoretical-methodological apparatus that can function as a magnifying glass capable of analysing and managing the effectiveness of management at a local level, but which can simultaneously guarantee the unity of the European ecological transition.
