History
[
edit
]
From its origins, in practical terms, SNSPA can be considered to be a continuation of the
?tefan Gheorghiu Academy
, which provided training for the leadership of the
Romanian Communist Party
(PCR) before the
1989 Revolution
. The former party secretary from the ?tefan Gheorghiu Academy, Vasile Sec?re?, created in January 1990 the School of High Political Studies. Later, in spring of that year, he founded the Faculty of High Political Studies at the
University of Bucharest
, which in 1991 was transformed in SNSPA. Sec?re? would be the rector of the institution from its creation in 1991 to 2004.
