Tekst powstał w celu udzielenia odpowiedzi na pytanie, dlaczego w Rumunii wolontariat jest wciąż słabo rozwinięty. W pierwszej części tekstu prezentuję problemy związane z definiowaniem wolontariatu i wyjaśniam, dlaczego uważam, że wolontariat jest wciąż słabo rozwinięty w porównaniu do innych krajów. W drugiej części omawiam historię wolontariatu w Rumunii od jego początków do sytuacji obecnej. Rozwój sektora opierającego się na wolontariacie w Rumunii został pokazany z punktu widzenia instytucji, które reprezentują i tworzą wolontariat, a także normy społeczne, które pojawiły się w konsekwencji tych działań. Trzy główne stadia rozwoju tego sektora stanowią strukturę tej analizy. W związku z komunistyczną przeszłością Rumunii można wyróżnić wolontariat - przed, - w czasie i – po komunizmie. Stosując do analizy instytucji podejście socjologiczne, niniejszy artykuł pokazuje, że obecny stan wolontariatu w Rumunii wyłonił się jako racjonalna odpowiedź na występujące wcześniej instytucjonalne i społeczne ograniczenia.

This paper was written to answer the question of why the Romanian volunteering sector is still underdeveloped. In the first section, the problems associated with the definition of volunteering are presented and I explain why I consider the Romanian volunteering sector weakly developed compared to other countries. In the second part I discuss the history of volunteering in Romania and focus on the presentation of the current situation. The time-wise development of Romania's volunteering sector is presented from the point of view of the institutions that represent it and the social norms which have appeared as their consequence. There are three main stages of the development which structure this analysis with respect to Romania's communist past: volunteering before, during and after the communism. Analysing institutions with the application of sociological approach, this paper shows that the current state of volunteering in Romania emerged as a rational response to earlier institutional and social constraints.
