TRIF .................................................................................... 167 5 Note from the Editors After successfully guiding the first three inaugural issues, the founding editors of the Journal of Romanian Studies—Lavinia Stan, Jules Leger Re- search Chair and professor of comparative politics at St. Francis Xavier University, Canada; Margaret Hiebert Beissinger, Professor in the Depart- ment of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Princeton University, and Radu Cinpoeș, head of the Department of Politics and senior lecturer at Kingston University, London, England—have handed over the reins of the publication to us. Together with the Society for Romanian Studies and its members, we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Professors Stan, Beissinger and Cinpoeș for their vision, persistence, expertise and hard work in creating the JRS. By doing so, they forged a vehicle that enlarges the global scope and extent for scholarship on Romanian and Moldovan topics. A sincere thank you and “well done” to our three predecessors. We take seriously our fiduciary responsibility to complete the vision of the founding editors and make the JRS the premier publication that dis- seminates notable, multi-disciplinary scholarship on Romanian and Mol- dovan topics. In the next three years, we aim to unrelentingly enhance the quality of JRS’s content, increase the number and disciplinary variety of submis- sions, persistently pursue top established and up-and-coming intellectu- als/academics to contribute to the journal, and magnify the journal’s vis- ibility and standing in and outside the academic community. The editorial team cannot do its work without the aid of the mem- bers of the Society of Romanian Studies and its Board, as well other sub- scribers. We fervently hope that you, our readers, will help us achieve the above-stated goals by submitting articles, identifying potential contribu- tors, serving as reviewers and, when necessary, as translators. And of course, we urge you to spread the word that our journal is an exceptional reference for scholars, students, policy makers, the media, and all who have an interest in the myriad of topics related to Romania and Moldova. Thank you for your support. 7 Peter Gross, Co‐Editor Professor Emeritus & former Director School of Journalism & Electronic Media The University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN, U.S.A.

  • Trials of the War Criminals
    TRIALS OF THE WAR CRIMINALS General Considerations The Fascist regime that ruled Romania between September 14, 1940, and August 23, 1944, was brought to justice in Bucharest in May 1946, and after a short trial, its principal leaders—Ion and Mihai Antonescu and two of their closest assistants—were executed, while others were sentenced to life imprisonment or long terms of detention. At that time, the trial’s verdicts seemed inevitable, as they indeed do today, derived inexorably from the defendants’ decisions and actions. The People’s Tribunals functioned for a short time only. They were disbanded on June 28, 1946,1 although some of the sentences were not pronounced until sometime later. Some 2,700 cases of suspected war criminals were examined by a commission formed of “public prosecutors,”2 but only in about half of the examined cases did the commission find sufficient evidence to prosecute, and only 668 were sentenced, many in absentia.3 There were two tribunals, one in Bucharest and one in Cluj. It is worth mentioning that the Bucharest tribunal sentenced only 187 people.4 The rest were sentenced by the tribunal in Cluj. One must also note that, in general, harsher sentences were pronounced by the Cluj tribunal (set up on June 22, 1 Marcel-Dumitru Ciucă, “Introducere” in Procesul maresalului Antonescu (Bucharest: Saeculum and Europa Nova, 1995-98), vol. 1: p. 33. 2 The public prosecutors were named by communist Minister of Justice Lucret iu Pătrăşcanu and most, if not all of them were loyal party members, some of whom were also Jews.

  • European Union News Th Case Study: Europa FM Uropean Union News
    Interdisciplinary Dimensions of Communication Science Interdisciplinary Dimensions of Communication Science European Union News Themes in Romanian Radio Stations. Case Study: Europa FM and Radio Romania Actualitati Antonia-Ioana Matei1, Florica Iuhaş2 Abstract: With Romania’s integration in the European Union, the media content related to the member states has acquired growing importance. The themes of journalism were enriched with new approaches towards national image in the European context and vice versa. At a first level, the study aims to conduct a quantitative analysis on the news topics broadcasted by Radio Romania Actualitati and Europa FM, for the duration of 32 days. The qualitative component focuses on the topics addressed in radio news in order to see what is the media content which reflects the image of the European Union. The findings show, beyond the numbers, that the editorial policy of the Romanian media is not concerned with the interests of the citizens - from the perspective of common themes - but rather with how can the EU, as a unified body, help member countries solve their problems. Keywords: European Union; editorial policy; Romanian media 1. Introduction On the canvas of media discourse in post-revolution Romania, many topics have occurred, aimed on the one hand at the image of Romania in the context of its pre-accession to the EU, on the other, at its new European identity. In the past three years, the reality of joining the EU brought a common approach from all member states which intend – each one - to make meaningful analysis of all dimensions covering the European Community.

Tensions between metropolitans and bishops reflected dissatisfaction among parish clergy and laypeople as well, which in some cases resulted in the formation of new religious movements. As a society experiencing extraordinary social and political upheavals, including new borders, a nationalizing state, industrialization, new communication and transportation networks and new political ideologies, inter-war Romania was a fecund environment for religious innovation. With monasticism in decline and ever higher expectations being placed on both priests and laypeople, two of the most significant new religious movements of the period emerged in regions where monasticism and the monastic approach to spirituality had been strongest. The first, Inochentism, began in Bessarabia just before the First World War. Its apocalyptic belief that the end times were near included a strong criticism of the Church and the state, a critique that transferred smoothly onto the Romanian state and Orthodox Church once the region became part of Greater Romania.

  • Henri H. Stahl's Contribution to the Sociological Monographs of the Bucharest School of Sociology
    UTOPIA CONSTRUCTIVĂ A MONOGRAFIEI HENRI H. STAHL’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE SOCIOLOGICAL MONOGRAPHS OF THE BUCHAREST SCHOOL OF SOCIOLOGY ALINA JURAVLE* ABSTRACT This study is an attempt to shed light onto Henri H. Stahl’s contribution to the sociological monographs that were the core of the Bucharest School of Sociology’s activity. Stahl is presented as an active member of the School, bringing into it his own background and abilities, distinct or shared views, values and interests and then impacting it through his actions which, combined with other factors, distinctively change and shape its development. As such, the study is also not an attempt to summarize his theoretical developments and to compare and place them in rapport with those of other social scientists. The purpose of this study is to expose at least partially the degree to which the knowledge that Stahl generates and uses differs in shape and contents from that of Dimitrie Gusti, regarding the manner in which it is used in his course towards a certain role and status in the School, the manner in which his course in the School develops, and the manner in which his personal characteristics and options, group and organizational developments and the wider social context interact in order to shape published sociological knowledge. Keywords: Henri H. Stahl, sociological monographs, Bucharest School of Sociology, knowledge. THE SOCIOLOGICAL MONOGRAPH – THEORY, METHOD, PRINTED SCIENTIFIC RESULT The following study is an attempt to shed light onto Henri H. Stahl’s contribution to the sociological monographs that were the core of the Bucharest School of Sociology’s activity.

  • The Revolutions of 1989 and Their Legacies
    1 The Revolutions of 1989 and Their Legacies Vladimir Tismaneanu The revolutions of 1989 were, no matter how one judges their nature, a true world-historical event, in the Hegelian sense: they established a historical cleavage (only to some extent conventional) between the world before and after 89. During that year, what appeared to be an immutable, ostensibly indestructible system collapsed with breath-taking alacrity. And this happened not because of external blows (although external pressure did matter), as in the case of Nazi Germany, but as a consequence of the development of insuperable inner tensions. The Leninist systems were terminally sick, and the disease affected first and foremost their capacity for self-regeneration. After decades of toying with the ideas of intrasystemic reforms (“institutional amphibiousness”, as it were, to use X. L. Ding’s concept, as developed by Archie Brown in his writings on Gorbachev and Gorbachevism), it had become clear that communism did not have the resources for readjustment and that the solution lay not within but outside, and even against, the existing order.1 The importance of these revolutions cannot therefore be overestimated: they represent the triumph of civic dignity and political morality over ideological monism, bureaucratic cynicism and police dictatorship.2 Rooted in an individualistic concept of freedom, programmatically skeptical of all ideological blueprints for social engineering, these revolutions were, at least in their first stage, liberal and non-utopian.3 The fact that 1 See Archie Brown, Seven Years that Changed the World: Perestroika in Perspective (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007), pp. 157-189. In this paper I elaborate upon and revisit the main ideas I put them forward in my introduction to Vladimir Tismaneanu, ed., The Revolutions of 1989 (London and New York: Routledge, 1999) as well as in my book Reinventing Politics: Eastern Europe from Stalin to Havel (New York: Free Press, 1992; revised and expanded paperback, with new afterword, Free Press, 1993).
