However, both the definitions and the measurements of these processes are under constant debate. In the last 50 years, theoreticians failed to fully agree upon what constitutes a socially responsible corporation. One can find more consensus regarding the practices that highlight social performance of organizations. Using the stakeholder management approach, several studies revealed the impact of different groups in shaping the social orientation of companies. In our paper we investigated social responsibility relates aspects of small and medium enterprises in Oradea, Romania. The main focus relies on testing the applicability of international measures of CSR based on stakeholder approach. Assuming that in Romania we rather face normative isomorphism regarding social practices of companies, we expected that international measures will apply...

of the real income from the agricultural activities, the lack of serious economic alternatives, and demographic issues.
Rural tourism could contribute to the rural sustainable development through small local businesses valorising the natural,
cultural and ethnographic resources. However, most of them need the fi nancial support from private creditors (banks). Th e
survey-based research conducted among banks’ representatives has identifi ed several strengths of small rural ventures, such
as the small scale and the associated risks, the endurance to external shocks, the openness to market opportunities, as well
as some of their weaknesses: e.g. a poor management experience, seasonality etc. We have also identifi ed the actions necessary
to be performed by these fi rms to attract fi nancial resources from the banks’ side, i.e. the diversifi cation of income
sources, the association and the adherence to recognized brands and maintaining a reasonable leverage ratio. It was found
that the bank’s size does not matter, but the nature of the bank’s capital does: the private domestic banks are more willing to
fi nance such businesses. Th e banks’ involvement in co-fi nancing the EU projects could be a way to foster and strengthen the
rural businesses.

The importance of the theme approached in this paper consists in the fact that these countries are not coming no matter how and in a manner in which they can be assimilated easily in the group of the countries dominating the nowadays world, but in a too alert rhythm as compared to the "old guard" and with a "baggage" of knowledge totally different. This paper concludes that the redefining of the relation of forces in the world economy and trade at the beginning of the 21 st century can be done without major losses at the global level, by approaching the new countries which are preparing to take over the world hegemony, strongly cohabiting and cooperating with them within the global governance in the morel conditions of the strategic interests of all the participants in the world economy.

The examination of the evolution of commercial policy during the last millennium, and especially, the last 500 years, provides us with a concrete image of the fact that the countries which had been promoting policies of trade liberalization have prospered while those closing their markets by practicing a protectionist policy have reached the stage of economic decline. The experiences of Great Britain, the USA, Japan, China and Germany support this hypothesis. Therefore, next we will analyse these experiences, the economies selected as such being the most significant to illustrate the dynamics of the commercial policies from historical and regional perspectives, these particular states having also an important role in the history and contemporary of international trade, being in the "Top 5" of the world exporters and importers of goods and services, according to WTO 2007. The result of the research develop in this paper enforces the economic theory that stipulates that the free trade conducts to welfare and economic growth.

Thus, we consider that the present paper is of a significant importance for the specialists in the foreign trade problems, as well as for the Romanian and all other EU economic operators because we will try to realise a "radiography" of all the general aspects and tendencies of the Romanian External Trade during the years 1990-2006, and their effects upon the Romania's current and future membership to the European Union, as part of the Common Trade Policy, by presenting some relevant indicators, such as: the volume of foreign trade, volume of exports and imports, GDP growth etc.
