The globalization phenomenon has substantially transformed the state’s role, and its sovereignty took on, during the past years, new meanings and dimensions. There­fore, the sovereignty is the instrument through which the national interests connect to the European and to the world interests. The global administrative order does not seek to substitute the sovereignty and the right to decide of the states, but it searches for ways to be an integrator. Romania has developed cooperation rela­tions with different global regulatory bodies with regard to the administrative prac­tice. In view of the EU integration process, both the public international organiza­tions and the private international organizations, while developing their re­lations with the Romanian public authorities and institutions, they influenced the evolu­tion and modification of the national legislation and administrative proce­dures. The main areas in which Romania has ratified the international conventions and has taken action towards developing the global administrative order were the envi­ron­ment, the health and the financial sector. In the financial sector, Romania has de­veloped the cooperation with both the World Bank and the International Mone­tary Fund, aiming at maintaining the macroeconomic stability and at estab­lishing a sustainable economic growth. There is a long history with the IMF in terms of agree­ments. The latest Stand-By Agreement was concluded between Romania and the IMF for a period of 24 months (2009-2011) and it requires con­ditionalities re­ferring to both quantitative performance criteria and structural refer­ence criteria.
