The [[Constitution of Romania]] is based on [[Constitution of France|the constitution of France's Fifth Republic]] and was approved in a national referendum on 8&nbsp;December 1991 and amended in October 2003 to bring it into conformity with EU legislation. The [[Economist Intelligence Unit]] rated Romania as a "[[Defective democracy|flawed democracy]]" in 2023. [[Freedom House]] also considers Romania to be free.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Democracy Index 2022 |url=https://www.eiu.com/n/campaigns/democracy-index-2022/ |access-date=2023-09-02 |website=Economist Intelligence Unit |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Romania: Freedom in the World 2023 Country Report |url=https://freedomhouse.org/country/romania/freedom-world/2023 |access-date=2023-09-02 |website=Freedom House |language=en}}</ref>

Since December 1989, Romania has pursued a policy of strengthening relations with the West in general, more specifically with the United States and the European Union, albeit with limited [[Romania–Russia relations|relations involving]] the Russian Federation. It joined NATO on 29&nbsp;March 2004, the European Union (EU) on 1&nbsp;January 2007, while it joined the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in 1972, and is a founding member of the [[World Trade Organization]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wto.org/English/thewto_e/whatis_e/tif_e/org6_e.htm |title=Understanding the WTO – members |publisher=WTO |access-date=29 August 2011 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091229021759/http://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/whatis_e/tif_e/org6_e.htm |archive-date=29 December 2009  }}</ref>
