Does Ministerial Instability Affect the Decision-Making Process? The Most Reshuffled Governments in Romania After 1989

Does ministerial instability adversely affect the continuity of the decision-making process in Romania? Although the normative premises of many studies in the literature give an affirmative answer to the question above, an empirical study on the romanian ministerial reshuffles after 1989 shows that ministerial instability does not create the premises for discontinuity at decision-making level, given that almost 40% of those replacing the reshuffled ministers come from staff who previously served in the government (state secretaries or ministers). Given this empirical conclusion that ministerial instability does not necessarily lead to the lack of continuity in government decision-making, then what determines ministerial stability or instability?
