Video - Business Ethics in Third World Countries. A Romanian Representative Case Roşia Montană

The Roșia Montană case stands as a complex example of the intersection between economic interests, political influence, and social impact in post-1989 Romania. Emerging in a nation navigating decades of reform and globalization, the case reflects how economic power can dominate political decision-making, often at the expense of sustainable development.

As a symbolic “open wound” of modern Romania, Roșia Montană represents a living lesson on the fragile balance between progress and environmental or moral collapse. It highlights the tension between economic growth and ethical responsibility, questioning the true meaning of sustainability in the 21st century.
