  • Reshaping State-Society Relations: Democratization in Southern and Eastern Europe
    RESHAPING STATE-SOCIETY RELATIONS: DEMOCRATIZATION IN SOUTHERN AND EASTERN EUROPE Rafael Durán Working Paper #277 – July 2000 R ESHAP ING STATE- SOCIETY RELA TIONS D EMOC R ATIZATION IN SOUTHERN AND EASTERN EUROP E Rafael Durán Working Paper #277 – July 2000 Rafael Durán completed his MA in Social Sciences at the Center for Advanced Study in the Social Sciences (Juan March Institute, Madrid), and obtained a PhD in Political Science at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Professor Durán was a research fellow at the Instituto de Ciências Sociais, University of Lisbon, in 1995, and at the Kellogg Institute in 1999/00. His most recent publications include “New Social Movements, Democracy, and Crisis of Political Parties” in Political Participation and Representation in Multicultural Societies (University of Málaga, 1998); “State Dynamism and Multidimensionality: Social Protests during Regime Change” (CEACS Working Paper, 1999); and Moderation and Transgression: Social Mobilizations and the State during the Spanish and Portuguese Transitions (Centro de Estudios Constitucionales, Madrid, 2000). I would like to thank Valerie Bunce, Robert Fishman, Steve Levitsky, and Sidney Tarrow for a particularly critical reading and many thoughtful comments on an earlier draft of this paper. Help was also offered by Moonis Ahmar, Andrzej Jablonski, and James Krapfl. Although the responsibility for its final form is mine in all respects, I am indebted to Robert Fishman for his invaluable assistance with the English version of this essay as well. The first draft was written at the University of Málaga (Spain). I presented a previous version, exclusively focused on Romania, at the international and interdisciplinary conference “Between the Bloc and the Hard Place: Moving towards Europe in Post-Communist States?” at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University of London, London, 6–7 November 1999.

CUVÂNTUL EDITORULUI Iată că, după „Secretele lui Pavel Coruţ” (autori: Eugen Delcea şi Oana Nuţă) şi „Războiul parapsihologic împotriva României” (autor: Teodor Filip), editate şi reeditate în anul 1998, Editura „OBIECTIV” - Craiova dă de lucru difuzorilor de carte cu o nouă „bombă editorială”: „Secretele U.S.L.A.”, binecunoscută cititorilor săptămânalelor „Crişana Plus” (Oradea) şi „Obiectiv Magazin” (Craiova) drept „Confesiunile unui fost uslaş”. În prefaţa volumului „Războiul parapsihologic împotriva României”, scriam că „dl. Teodor Filip este un prolific în ale scrisului” şi că „mai mult ca sigur, nu peste mult timp, va intra în galeria celor mai cunoscuţi autori români post-decembrişti, aşa cum sunt Pavel Coruţ şi dr. Cristian Negureanu”. Sperăm, totodată să ţinem pasul cu dl. Teodor Filip, pentru că domnia sa mai are încă multe de dezvăluit!...”. Toate aceste afirmaţii, aparent îndrăzneţe, sunt confirmate acum de apariţia volumului de faţă şi de faptul că autorul mai are în lucru încă două „bombe editoriale”... care vor completa în mod fericit, cu siguranţă, un bogat plan editorial al nostru, pentru anul 1999, privind „Colecţia EXPLOZIV”. Pentru că cititorii care n-au avut şansa să lectureze „Războiul parapsihologic împotriva României” îşi vor pune, în mod sigur, întrebarea-cheie „Cine este, totuşi, Teodor Filip?”, suntem nevoiţi să repetăm unele precizări din prefaţa volumului anterior al autorului.

  • Collective Memory and National Identity in Post-Communist Romania: Representations of the Communist Past in Romanian News Media and Romanian Politics (1990 - 2009)
    COLLECTIVE MEMORY AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN POST-COMMUNIST ROMANIA: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE COMMUNIST PAST IN ROMANIAN NEWS MEDIA AND ROMANIAN POLITICS (1990 - 2009) A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Constanta Alina Hogea May 2014 Examining Committee Members: Carolyn Kitch, Advisory Chair, Journalism Nancy Morris, Media Studies and Production Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Journalism Mihai Coman, External Member, University of Bucharest © Copyright 2014 by Constanta Alina Hogea All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT My dissertation situates at the intersection of communication studies and political sciences under the umbrella of the interdisciplinary field of collective memory. Precisely, it focuses on the use of the communist past by political actors to gain power and legitimacy, and on the interplay between news media and politics in shaping a national identity in post-communist Romania. My research includes the analysis of the media representations of two categories of events: the anniversaries of the Romanian Revolution and the political campaigns for presidential/parliamentary elections. On the one hand, the public understanding of the break with communism plays an important role in how the post-communist society is defined. The revolution as a schism between the communist regime and a newborn society acts like a prism through which Romanians understand their communist past, but also the developments the country has taken after it. On the other hand, political communication is operating on the public imaginary of the past, the present and the future. The analysis of the political discourses unfolded in the news media shows how the collective memory of the communist past is used to serve political interests in the discursive struggle for power and legitimacy.

  • 1 Bullets, Lies, and Videotape: the Amazing, Disappearing Romanian
    Bullets, Lies, and Videotape: The Amazing, Disappearing Romanian Counter-Revolution of December 19891 by Richard Andrew Hall, Ph.D. Standard Disclaimer: All statements of fact, opinion, or analysis expressed are those of the author and do not reflect the official positions or views of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or any other U.S. Government agency. Nothing in the contents should be construed as asserting or implying U.S. Government authentication of information or CIA endorsement of the author’s views. This material has been reviewed by CIA to prevent the disclosure of classified information. [Submitted to CIA’s Publications Review Board (PRB) 19 November 2009; cleared without changes by PRB 15 December 2009] I am an intelligence analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency. I have been a CIA analyst since 2000. Prior to that time, I had no association with CIA outside of the application process. His name was Ghircoias…Nicolae Ghircoias. And in Romania in December 1989 and January 1990, Nicolae Ghircoias was a very busy man. We know, officially, of Nicolae Ghircoias’ actions in the last days leading up to the fall of the regime of communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu on 22 December 1989, as a result of what he and others said at a trial later in January 1990. In bureaucratic parlance, Colonel Nicolae Ghircoias, was the Director of the Criminalistic Institute of the Militia’s [Police’s] General Inspectorate. In colloquial terms, in December 1989 it appears that this amounted to being something of a “cleaner,” or “fixer,” the kind of guy who could make unpleasant things—such as corpses—go away, without leaving a trace.
