    About Romania Romania (Romanian: România, IPA: [ro.mɨni.a]) is a country in Southeastern Europe sited in a historic region that dates back to antiquity. It shares border with Hungary and Serbia to the west, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova to the northeast, and Bulgaria to the south. Romania has a stretch of sea coast along the Black Sea. It is located roughly in the lower basin of the Danube and almost all of the Danube Delta is located within its territory. Romania is a parliamentary unitary state. As a nation-state, the country was formed by the merging of Moldavia and Wallachia in 1859 and it gained recognition of its independence in 1878. Later, in 1918, they were joined by Transylvania, Bukovina and Bessarabia. At the end of World War II, parts of its territories (roughly the present day Moldova) were occupied by USSR and Romania became a member of Warsaw Pact. With the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, Romania started a series of political and economic reforms that peaked with Romania joining the European Union. Romania has been a member of the European Union since January 1, 2007, and has the ninth largest territory in the EU and with 22 million people [1] it has the 7th largest population among the EU member states. Its capital and largest city is Bucharest (Romanian: Bucureşti /bu.kureʃtʲ/ (help·info)), the sixth largest city in the EU with almost 2 million people. In 2007, Sibiu, a large city in Transylvania, was chosen as European Capital of Culture.[2] Romania joined NATO on March 29, 2004, and is also a member of the Latin Union, of the Francophonie and of OSCE.

Elected in December 2004, the new Romanian President, Traian Băsescu, asserted his strong commitment towards Romania’s strategic partnership with the United States and strong ties with Britain, saying that ”the Washington-London-Bucharest axis will be a foreign priority for Romania”. Does this statement represent the recognition of the most important ac- tors that dominate the international setting nowadays or is it the continuation of the previously good relations with Britain and the United States of America? This study analyses both the international setting and the domestic processes that took place in Britain and Romania during the Cold War.

Abstract The events of 1956 (the Twentieth CPSU Congress, Khrushchev’s Secret Speech, and the Hungarian revolution) had a strong impact on the evolution of the Romanian communist regime, paving the way for the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Roma- nia in 1958, the stricter policy toward the Transylvanian Hungarians, and Romania’s greater independence from the USSR in the 1960s.

  • Soviet Economic Impact on Czechoslovakia and Romania in the Early Postwar Period: 1944 - 1956
    SOVIET ECONOMIC IMPACT ON CZECHOSLOVAKIA AND ROMANIA IN THE EARLY POSTWAR PERIOD: 1944 - 1956 Tamas R~ti This paper examines the conditions under which the so­ called Soviet model of industrialization was introduced into East Central Europe. While it is difficult to define direct Soviet economic policy, one can discern the Soviet interest and its direct economic impact by analyzing Czechoslovakia and Romania in terms of both their internal development and their relations with .the Soviet Union. No doubt, the primacy of politics is the main component of the Soviet relationship to East Central Europe; this paper, however, will focus on the economic side of that relationship. Although these countries fOlJowed the Sovi~t development -,strategy of the 1930s -- rapid extensive growth of heavy industry through central planning -- it is important to recognize the distinctive features of each country's pattern. Though it is widely accePted that significant national differences exist in the 1980s, their emergence from the 1940s and 1950s is much less well-known, let alone the fact that these differences were strengthened by various Soviet policies. Let us turn to the cases of Czechoslovakia and Romania. In the interwar period there were already important social and economic dissimiliarities between the two countries. The question then is: Could the Stalinist "melting pot" actually eliminate these distinctive features? To begin with, Romania's population was overwhelmingly rural and its level of development was closer to the USSR's than was Czechoslovakia's.' Almost two thirds of Romania's agriculttrral properties remained smaller than the viable size of three hectares, despite an extensive land reform completed after World War I.

The research explored the complex relations between state planning bodies, enterprises, and the managers. The research’s approach was multi-disciplinary drawing on industrial management, economics, organisation studies sociology, and political science. The research had also a consistent trans-disciplinary character because it aimed to create an over-arching perspective on Romanian industrialisation process. The approach employed in this study was the one labelled by Burrell & Morgan interpretivist. This means that author’s set of assumptions over society and social research lies on the subjective side of the philosophy of science dimension, and is characterised by an integrationist view over society.

Article. THE CASE OF ROMANIA Case Study Keywords Communism Eastern Europe Repression Daily life Legacies Romania JEL classification N44 Abstract After the Second World War, Central and Eastern Europe was discovering the communist influence. The communist ideology changed the political regimes of the countries from the region, but most important it changed the society and the mentality of the people living in Central and Eastern Europe. The countries experienced censorship, lack of private property, repression, secret police abuse, religious bans, poverty, food rationalization, lack of privacy, massive industrialization and many other abuses which are typical for a totalitarian regime. This article focuses on daily life aspects during communist Romania, because it is one of the most revealing cases of the post-communist countries. Romania had one of the most abusive and obsolete communist regime. The methodological approach is based on the case study method, which will be validated with empirical data. This article will also emphasize the legacies of the totalitarian recent past over the contemporary evolution of the Central and Eastern European societies, with an accent on the Romanian case. 266 SEA - Practical Application of Science Volume II, Issue 1 (3) / 2014 Introduction methods.

    The London School of Economics and Political Science A Maverick in the Making: Romania’s de-Satellization Process and the Global Cold War (1953-1963) Corina Mavrodin A thesis submitted to the Department of International History of London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, February 2017 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 96,500 words. 2 Abstract This research project explores Romania’s process of detachment from Moscow from 1953 to 1963 within the context of the global Cold War. Through a multi-archival investigation, the dissertation investigates the first full process of peaceful de-satellization within the Eastern bloc by considering the broader framework of the bipolar international climate. In so doing, it provides both a bottom-up, as well as a top-down analysis. This project focuses, in particular, on the tenure of Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej (1947-65), Romania’s first Communist leader, as it was under his leadership that the country shifted from complete subservience to the Soviet Union to political and economic autonomy.

  • 1 Romania's Integration in Comecon. the Analisys of A
    ROMANIA’S INTEGRATION IN COMECON. THE ANALISYS OF A FAILURE Maria Mure şan, Professor Ph.D. The Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies The present paper is part of a wider research on Romania’s integration in the economy of Europe in the 19 th – 20 th centuries. It is based on an ample Romanian and foreign literature, but also on a significant number of quite new documents that have become available as a result of the opening, in the summer of 2006, of the Central National Archives of Romania on Comecon issues. The purpose of the paper is to underline the aspects connected to the evolution of the idea and practices of integration. In the well known circumstances of the end of the Second World War Romania belonged to the Soviet sphere of influence and, for almost half a century, it has been part of the socialist system. 1. Romania, Founding Member of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance The setting up moment of the Council for Mutual Assistance 1 is quite uncertain in history. Some documentary sources mention the date of 8 January 1950 2, some 18 January 1950 3 and others 25 January 1950 4. One thing is certain that in the meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Romanian Workers’ Party 5, 10 January 1950, Gheorghe Gheorghiu –Dej informed the Political Bureau that not long ago he had been twice was in Moscow, but discretion had to be maintained and that was why knowledge of the issue was limited to few comrades. He emphasized that there had been a project with two forms.

At a certain moment, the hosts and guests left the park and headed towards a group of Soviet citizens bathing in the Moscow River. At the appearance of comrade Khrushchev the group of citizens applauded. Comrade Khrushchev shook the hands of some persons, after which, turning back towards his guests, said with a smile: “they are becoming bourgeoisie.” After that the guests were invited to a shooting range.
