The Open Method of Coordination

Abstract

An important issue that has sparked some controversy is the European governance, which today is part of a genuine acquis of modernity. The premise from which we started in this approach is that this new method is a new trend of European governance. This method promises from the beginning more efficiency and coherence in European governance policies. From all analyzed in this paper we will observe the main characteristics of the OMC, its evolution over time, the perspectives made possible by the 2020 Strategy, but also what meant implementing this method in Romania and the benefits from accession policies generated by the Open Method of Coordination. Also in this work it is important the analysis of advantages and disadvantages involved in this method, which will be done by highlighting some strengths and some weaknesses.
