Romania has come under pressure from the turmoil in the euro zone but Ponta
has committed his government to a 5 billion euro aid deal led by the
International Monetary Fund while securing its agreement to ease the
austerity measures that helped to topple the previous two governments.
Any uncertainty over the future of his government could revive pressure on the
Romanian leu, which is already trading close to all-time lows against the
euro.
Ponta’s thesis was republished with very minor amendments as a book in 2004,
and also forms the basis of a 2010 book on liability in international
humanitarian law. A former PhD student of Ponta’s, Daniela Coman, is named
as co-author of the books, Nature said.
“Substantial sections of text in all three publications seem to be
identical, or almost so, to material in monographs written in Romanian by
law scholars Dumitru Diaconu and Vasile Cretu,” the magazine reported.
“They also feature direct Romanian translations of parts of an
English-language publication by law scholar Ion Diaconu.”
