“A
comprehensive view of Romania 25 years after the collapse of Ceausescu’s regime
is presented in this collection edited by Stan and Vancea. The book is
organized into four parts. In the first part, contributors take note of the
period immediately following the removal of Ceausescu, including letters from
Romanian citizens in the 1989–1990 period detailing fears and hopes for
Romania’s future. The second part takes on issues of identity, political
participation, and the media, and the third part focuses on political issues
such as representation, parties, and political institutions.
The influence of the EU on Romanian human rights and
environmental measures is considered in the final part of the book. The
chapters present first-rate scholarship from some of the most well-known
experts in this area and a great deal of methodological diversity as well. The
diversity in methods and content is a definitive strength of the book. Marius
Stan and Vladimir Tismaneanu’s chapter on coming to terms with the communist
past stands out. Though the focus of the book is on Romania, much is applicable
to the other post-Communist countries in the region. Summing Up: Highly
recommended. Graduate and research collections. (CHOICE)”
