„Romania since the Second World
War is the first book about
Romania designed to chart the progress of the nation under the communist regime
as well as the transition period that followed, providing detailed analysis of
the aspects of continuity and change that can be identified over the period as
a whole.
The book begins with Romania's involvement in the
Second World War, looking at the communist regime in depth. It examines how
communism took hold and the elimination of traditional elites took place,
before discussing the impact of Gheorghiu-Dej and Nicolae Ceausescu, the two
most important leaders of the communist era. The following chapters cover the
main social and economic changes during the communist regime. The second part
of the book explores the transition period following the end of communism in
1989, with special attention given to international relations and Romania's
drive for inclusion in NATO and the EU. Romania since the Second World War
assesses socio-demographic trends across the postwar period before concluding
with some thoughts on the nation's development during this time.
The book includes a useful appendix covering the key
figures in Romania's recent history and a helpful bibliography, making this a
key text for anyone interested in the modern history of Eastern Europe.”
