uniune

Uniune is a Romanian noun meaning "union" or "alliance." It derives from the Latin unio and is used in legal, political, and social contexts to denote a formal association of persons, organizations, or states.

In contemporary Romanian, uniune appears in phrases that describe federations or cooperative groups, such as uniune politică (political union) or uniune economică (economic union). These uses typically refer to voluntary or contractual groupings rather than full mergers of sovereignty.

The term is also employed in the names of local or regional bodies within Romania and neighboring Romanian-speaking communities, including unions of municipalities, cultural associations, and historical trade unions. In historical and political discourse, uniune can describe confederations, alliances, or partnerships formed for shared goals.

Because uniune is a generic noun, there is no single internationally recognized organization by that name. The term also appears in various languages with related roots, such as Italian unione, Spanish unión, and French union, reflecting a common concept of grouping or federating entities.
