A LEGACY SINCE 1864 The Romanian Armed Forces road to modernity started in 1859, once the United Principalities General Staff Corps, currently the ROMANIAN Defence Staff, was established. MILITARY Soon after it, in 1864, a group of nine captains, graduates of the first THINKING series of the Officer Cadet School in Bucharest, took the initiative to develop a “military science, art and history journal” named “România Militară/Military Romania”. The initiators of the publication – G. Slăniceanu (Captain, Chief of the Engineer Battalion), A. Gramont (Staff Captain), G. Borănescu (Engineer Captain), G. Anghelescu (Staff Captain), A. Anghelescu E. Pencovici (Artillery Captain), E. Arion (Artillery Captain), E. Boteanu (Staff (Staff Captain) Captain), E. Pencovici (Staff Captain) andC. Barozzi (Engineer Captain) –, educated not only in Romania but also abroad, were inspired by the necessity to develop a substantial theoretical activity in the Romanian C. Barozzi E. Boteanu Army too. (Engineer Captain) (Staff Captain) The journal manifesto1, included in the first issue, which appeared on 15 February 1864, contained innovative ideas and approaches that were meant to: �- contribute to the organisation of our military system the Legislative Chamber is about to decide upon soon; - assemble and examine the Country old military institutions that had made for the glory of Romania for several centuries and ensured our existence; - explore, in the absence of any military study, all the aspects related to the Army training, the most solid basis of the armed forces; - get the Romanian Troops well-informed about the military events in the world; G. Anghelescu - join efforts to work concertedly and whole-heartedly to develop (Staff Captain) and strengthen the edifice that is meant to ensure the future of our country�2. G. Borănescu G. Slăniceanu “România Militară” was an independent publication, under the aegis (Engineer Captain) (Captain, Chief of the War Ministry, and it ceased to appear in 1866 as there were no sufficient funds and subscribers. The publication was resumed in 1891, of the Engineer about a quarter of a century later, also as the result of the initiative of Battalion) a group of officers in the Great General Staff who intended to “reproduce the serious studies on the organisation, strategy and art of commanding troops under any circumstances”3. Shortly after it, by the Royal Decree no. 3663 issued on 8 December 1897, “România Militară” became the “Great General Staff official publication”. 1 Din trecutul României Militare cu prilejul aniversării a 75 de ani de la apariția ei în viața armatei. 1864-1939, București, 1939, p. 31. 2 Ibidem, p. 32.

IN THE FIELD OF SECURITY – In terms of the military organisation efficiency, it is the leadership that makes the difference between the standard performance and the Brigadier General Dorin Corneliu PLEȘCAN desired end state, considering the complex, volatile and ambiguous Commander (Rector) of “Carol I” National Defence University, Bucharest security environment. How can leadership be provided at the level of the entire military organisation so that it can meet the challenges posed by such a constantly changing security environment and an unprecedented technological revolution? Theoretically, through the continuous education and training of leaders at tactical and operational levels. How can military leadership be exported at the level of strategic decision-makers, at the level of civilian leaders? This development is started and cultivated through military education, training and experience. It requires the understanding of what military leaders do and why they do so, through permanent institutional collaboration in the field of security culture. The Need for Military Education Broadly defined, the mission of the military education network is to educate, train, specialise and perfect military leaders for the tactical level. It is about direct leadership, face-to-face leadership, which is generally functional in the military structures where subordinates and leaders are in direct contact all the time such as teams, sections, platoons, companies. Numerically, the range of influence of the direct leader can vary from a few to dozens of people. At the level of “Carol I” National Defence University – NDU, this mission is continued by educating and training leaders for operational and strategic levels. At the operational level, we refer to the organisational leaders who exercise leadership through subordinate leaders, responsible No. 2/2021 6 7 EDITORIAL Brigadier General Dorin Corneliu PLEȘCAN Military Education – The Connection between Military Leadership and Civilian Leadership in the Field of Security – for leading the various entities that make up the larger organisation.

  • Transpunerea Stilului Neoromânesc În Arta Funerară -Arhitectul Ion Mincu
    156 MUZEUL MUNICIPIULUI BUCUREŞTI - XXIX TRANSPUNEREA STILULUI NEOROMÂNESC ÎN ARTA FUNERARĂ -ARHITECTUL ION MINCU Dr. Camelia Maria Ene I. Ion Mincu, corifeul stilului naţional Arhitectul Ion Mincu poate fi situat în categoria eclecticilor de substanţă, dar partizani ai stilului naţional. Personalitatea lui se va contura în cadrul perioadei de formare a arhitecturii modeme româneşti. De obicei, atunci când se face referire asupra operei sale se insistă asupra caracterului ei novator, valoarea fiindu-i recunoscută prin faptul că a recuperat şi a 1 interpretat în forme moderne tradiţiile arhitecturii româneşti populare şi culte • El va fi părintele arhitecturii naţionale. Pentru a răspunde dezideratului naţional, la iniţiativa lui Al. Odobescu, arhitectul Ion Mincu a creat alfabetul cu litere româneşti, scrisul românesc, pe care l-a folosit deseori ca decoraţie pe frontispiciul operelor sale, îmbinând cele două scrieri, alfabetul latin cu formele provenite din chirilică. Aşa s-a ajuns la acel alfabet decorativ, intrat astăzi în circuitul public şi care este întrebuinţat ca simbol al culturii româneşti. De la Mincu, arhitectura românească se străduieşte, cu concursul oficial al Şcolii de arhitectură, să creeze un stil naţional, expresie a vieţii şi concepţiei româneşti de viaţă. Mincu însuşi a dat şi formula pe care imitatori şi rivali au adoptat-o şi transformat-o în doctrină necontestată, înţelegând uneori greşit principiile maestrului, 2 dar silindu-se totuşi să le aplice cu consecvenţă • Pe la 1884, când Mincu s-a întors de la Paris absolvent al Academiei de Belle Arte cu titlul de arhitect diplomat al guvernului francez, profesiunea în care se formase era conturată, statutul social îl integra pe deplin în rândurile intelectualităţii şi-i oferea şi independenţa meseriilor liberale.

Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Konrad Jarausch Reader: Dr. Lloyd Kramer Reader: Dr. Michael Hunt Reader: Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Kevin Mason ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Mason: Building an Unwanted Nation: The Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934 (Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Browning) This project focuses on American and British economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with Austria, and particularly with internal proponents of Austrian independence. Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .
