An Academic Tribune for Future Jurists and Specialists in International Governance

Abstract

In the history of Western universities, student publications emerged relatively early, as an extension of academic autonomy, the culture of debate, and the formation of intellectual elites. Romania continues to follow this trajectory. For these reasons, our student journal was established under the auspices of the Rector of Danubius International University, Professor Steve O. Michael, with the aim of fostering the most harmonious possible development of our faculty’s students. With a biannual publication schedule, this journal appears today with its inaugural issue, and students passionate about editorial life will be invited to continue publishing, particularly following the Student Scientific Events Session in May of this year. Faculty members are invited, together with students, to publish co-authored scholarly works in Romanian as well as in French, English, or Spanish. Gaudeamus is conceived as a nursery of ideas and an exercise in academic responsibility for young jurists, in line with established benchmarks. The editorial reviews the articles included in this first issue, in which readers will discover themes reflecting the concerns and aspirations of a new generation of jurists, to whom we wish much success.
