  • Romanian Political Science Review Vol. XXI, No. 1 2021
    Romanian Political Science Review vol. XXI, no. 1 2021 The end of the Cold War, and the extinction of communism both as an ideology and a practice of government, not only have made possible an unparalleled experiment in building a democratic order in Central and Eastern Europe, but have opened up a most extraordinary intellectual opportunity: to understand, compare and eventually appraise what had previously been neither understandable nor comparable. Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review was established in the realization that the problems and concerns of both new and old democracies are beginning to converge. The journal fosters the work of the first generations of Romanian political scientists permeated by a sense of critical engagement with European and American intellectual and political traditions that inspired and explained the modern notions of democracy, pluralism, political liberty, individual freedom, and civil rights. Believing that ideas do matter, the Editors share a common commitment as intellectuals and scholars to try to shed light on the major political problems facing Romania, a country that has recently undergone unprecedented political and social changes. They think of Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review as a challenge and a mandate to be involved in scholarly issues of fundamental importance, related not only to the democratization of Romanian polity and politics, to the “great transformation” that is taking place in Central and Eastern Europe, but also to the make-over of the assumptions and prospects of their discipline. They hope to be joined in by those scholars in other countries who feel that the demise of communism calls for a new political science able to reassess the very foundations of democratic ideals and procedures.

  • Between Denial and "Comparative Trivialization": Holocaust Negationism in Post-Communist East Central Europe
    Between Denial and "Comparative Trivialization": Holocaust Negationism in Post-Communist East Central Europe Michael Shafir Motto: They used to pour millet on graves or poppy seeds To feed the dead who would come disguised as birds. I put this book here for you, who once lived So that you should visit us no more Czeslaw Milosz Introduction* Holocaust denial in post-Communist East Central Europe is a fact. And, like most facts, its shades are many. Sometimes, denial comes in explicit forms – visible and universally-aggressive. At other times, however, it is implicit rather than explicit, particularistic rather than universal, defensive rather than aggressive. And between these two poles, the spectrum is large enough to allow for a large variety of forms, some of which may escape the eye of all but the most versatile connoisseurs of country-specific history, culture, or immediate political environment. In other words, Holocaust denial in the region ranges from sheer emulation of negationism elsewhere in the world to regional-specific forms of collective defense of national "historic memory" and to merely banal, indeed sometime cynical, attempts at the utilitarian exploitation of an immediate political context.1 The paradox of Holocaust negation in East Central Europe is that, alas, this is neither "good" nor "bad" for the Jews.2 But it is an important part of the * I would like to acknowledge the support of the J. and O. Winter Fund of the Graduate Center of the City University of New York for research conducted in connection with this project.

In a brief article of 1993, Lucian Boia outlined the destinies of some Western models which had come in contact with the Romanian culture; a Belgian model, seen as an appendage of the French, an English one, which in his opinion was completely marginal, and others that enjoyed a more or less brilliant fate (German, Italian, etc.) 1. Please note that each of the topics mentioned above enjoyed special attention in Romanian historiography; see for instance the studies authored by Aurel Filimon, Gheorghe Platon and even my own, dedicated to the Romanian- Belgian relations; those by Dan Berindei, Pompiliu Eliade, Nicolae Iorga and Nicolae Isar for the French case; those by Zigu Ornea regarding the German influences on the political and literary thought of the Junimea group; those by Eugen Denize and George L ăzărescu, on the cultural and political interferences between Italy and Romania, etc.

  • Y Joan Mira— Acreoientan Aun Mas El Valor De Este Monogrâflco, Bello Y Hecho Con Amor
    y Joan Mira— acreoientan aun mas el valor de este monogrâflco, bello y hecho con amor. Al final quisiéramos formular aun dos observaciones y sugerencias respecto a las Obrcu complétât editadas por la oasa Aguilar. En la ûltima édition, nuevos datos apa- reoeri en la preoiosa section bibliogrâfica, 10 paginas en total, asoendiendo el numéro de paginas que forman dicha sesciôn a una cifra respetuosa de 85. Problemàtica queda, Bin embargo, la parte que reooge datos bibliogrâfioo* de las traduociones de las obras de Lorca. Las listas, por distintas lenguas, nunoa pueden ni deben ser exhaustives, pero si deberian ser représentatives, reoogiendo lo de mayor importancia en los distintos ambitos idiomaticos. Huelga decir que para lograr este objetivo séria indispensable una amplia oolaboracidn international.9 Otra eosa que queriamoa sugerir nos parece aun mas urgente. Desde haoe aiios las Obras complétas editadas por la casa Aguilar sirven no solo a vastas oapos de leotores como instrumento de oultura y de conocimiento de la obra de Federico Garofa Lorca, sino también a los investigadores oomo valioso instru­ mento de trabajo — reiteramos nuestro agradeoimiento a Arturo del Hoyo— de uso gênerai. Como los investigadores trabajan con distintas edioiones de pagination dife- rente, a veoes eues ta trabajo hallar el lugar del texto que indican las referentias en sus estudios. A este respecto séria de gran utiîidad agregar en suplemento un indice gênerai que indicara las diferencias en la paginaciôn de las distintaa edioiones de las Obras cada vez mas Complétas de Federico Garcia Lorca.

I concentrate on developments in the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia (which united in 1859, later to form the old Kingdom of Romania). I begin with an outline of general social and political change in the Principalities in the period to 1829, followed by an analysis of the image of the Romanians in European public opinion, with particular reference to the state of cultural institutions (literacy, literary activity, education, publishing, individual groups) and their evaluation for political purposes.
