Dr. Mihail E. Ionescu Asist. Univ. Andrei Miroiu BUCUREŞTI, 2004 1 PARTEA I-A PUTERILE MINORE ÎN POLITICA INTERNAŢIONALĂ Această teză de doctorat reprezintă un demers realist de a înţelege comportamentul unei puteri minore, România, în raport cu propriul subsistem al relaţiilor internaţionale. Voi încerca, pe de o parte, să critic teoriile realiste actuale care tratează problematica puterilor minore şi să alcătuiesc o viziune contextualizată pentru principalul obiectiv al cercetării. Pe de altă parte, voi încerca să înţeleg comportamentul României ca actor internaţional axându-mă pe cele mai relevante teste din punctul de vedere al perspectivelor realiste: deciziile privind conflictul militar şi poziţia în sistemele de alianţe. Propria viziune asupra modului în care se structurează politica puterilor minore pornind de la constângerile sistemului internaţional, anunţată în prima parte a tezei, va fi testată în cele două părţi ale lucrării care vizează problematica românească. A doua parte a tezei va viza comportamentul României în momentele deciziilor esenţiale pentru supravieţuirea sau mărirea unui stat, cele privind acceptarea sau neacceptarea conflictului militar, din puctul de vedere al disputei teoretice legate de acţiunile de balansare şi de aliniere. A treia secţiune va încerca, bazându-se pe principiile analizei strategice şi ale analizei diplomatice să înţeleagă rolul României într-un cadru al hegemoniei de pace, determinat de plasarea în blocul estic între 1945 şi 1989-1991. Războiul interstatal a fost perceput în literatura clasică a relaţiilor internaţionale drept fenomenul central al oricărei investigaţii generatoare de teorii în 2 domeniul politicii mondiale1.

    International Conference KNOWLEDGE-BASED ORGANIZATION Vol. XXIII No 2 2017 THE INTERNATIONAL IMAGE OF ION I. C. BRĂTIANU IN 1919 Gheorghe CALCAN Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiești, Romania [email protected] Abstract: Our paper aims to present how Ion I. C. Brătianu was perceived outside national borders in a very important moment of the Romanian national history, namely the international recognition of the Great Union, within the Peace Conference at Paris-Versailles in 1919 -1920. Ion I. C. Brătianu was at that moment Prime Minister and the leader of the Romanian delegation at Versailles. Foreign countries perceived him as a very powerful personality, capable to influence other states with similar interests in Central and South Eastern Europe. Brătianu stoutly and patriotically defended the Romanian interests. Therefore, although his position was correct, it came into conflict with the interests of the great powers. Brătianu would not give up his principles and decided to leave the Peace Conference. French media was objective in their accounts and proved favourable to the Romanian position. Keywords: Ion I. C.

The army was in 1914 -1915 completely unprepared for such a war, public opinion, although pro-Entente in most of it, was not ready for this kind of war, and Ion I. C. Bratianu was convinced that he had to obtain a written assurance from the Russian Empire in view of his father's unpleasant experience from 1877-1878. This article analyze the political and military decisions after Romania entry in Great War. Although linked to the Austro-Hungarian Empire by a secret alliance treaty in 1883, Romania chose to declare itself neutral at the outbreak of hostilities in July 1914, relying on the interpretation of the "casus foederis" clauses. In the south, Romania has three major strategic interests in this region: - defense of the long Danubian border and the land border between the Danube and the Black Sea; - the keep open of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, through which 90% of the Romanian trade were made; - avoiding the isolation or political encirclement of Romania by keeping open the Thessaloniki-Nis- Danube communication, preventing its blocking as a result of local conflicts or taking over under strict control by one of the great powers in the region[1].

  • Heritage, Landscape and Conflict Archaeology
    THE EDGE OF EUROPE: HERITAGE, LANDSCAPE AND CONFLICT ARCHAEOLOGY by ROXANA-TALIDA ROMAN A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The research presented in this thesis addresses the significance of Romanian WWI sites as places of remembrance and heritage, by exploring the case of Maramureș against the standards of national and international heritage standards. The work provided the first ever survey of WWI sites on the Eastern Front, showing that the Prislop Pass conflictual landscape holds undeniable national and international heritage value both in terms of physical preservation and in terms of mapping on the memorial-historical record. The war sites demonstrate heritage and remembrance value by meeting heritage criteria on account of their preservation state, rarity, authenticity, research potential, the embedded war knowledge and their historical-memorial functions. The results of the research established that the war sites not only satisfy heritage legal requirements at various scales but are also endangered.

  • Cronologia Unirii Bucovinei Cu România (II): Intervenția Românească În Bucovina Și Unirea Acesteia Cu România (8-28 Noiembrie 1918)
    Cronologia unirii Bucovinei cu România (II): Intervenția românească în Bucovina și unirea acesteia cu România (8-28 noiembrie 1918) Paul BRUSANOWSKI Universitatea „Lucian Blaga” din Sibiu Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu Personal e-mail: [email protected] The Chronology of Bucovina’s Union with Romania (II): The Romanian Intervention in Bucovina and its Union with Romania (8-28 November 1918) During the dissolution of Habsburg Austria, the Ukrainians organized a National Assembly in Lviv on October 19 and declared the establishment of the Ukrainian state, stretching from the San River in the west (today, in south- eastern Poland) to the Siret River in the east (thus including the northern half of Bukovina). The Romanians in Bukovina held a Constituent Assembly on October 27 and decided the unification of the whole Bukovina with Romania. On November 1, 1918, the Ukrainians organized a coup d’état and took over Eastern Galicia, and on November 6, the city of Chernivtsi. Upon the request of the Romanian Constituent Assembly, the Romanian Royal Army entered Bukovina, and on November 12, occupied the city of Chernivtsi, from which the Ukrainian soldiers and officials had fled. The Romanian National Council, established by the Constituent Assembly, took over the power in Bukovina, issued a new constitution of the country and instituted a Romanian government in Bukovina.
