Rumania 1866-1947

Zusatztext Keith Hitchins examines the Balkan nation in a detailed, almost surgical manner. Little, if anything, escapes the author's scrutiny in his portrayal of an emerging nation. Hitchins has produced not only the definitive work on the development of the modern, precommunist Romanian state but also an outstanding case study of nation-building in general. Rich in detail and clearly presented and argued, this is a study that painstakingly chronicles the history of an often overlooked country ... It is impossible to imagine how a work of this scope could be more complete ... future bibliographic esaays on modern Romanian history will have to begin with this remarkable volume. Klappentext This latest volume in the acclaimed Oxford History of Modern Europe series looks at the collapse of Communist power which has once again focused attention on the processes of nation-building in central and eastern Europe. In this comprehensive study, Keith Hitchins focuses on how Rumania's political and intellectual elites attempted to establish an independent state before the advent of Communist rule in 1947. It traces the efforts of the country's leaders to create the institutions of a modern state, to "Europeanize" without losing national identity, and to find ways of preserving independence in the international political and economic order dominated by the great powers. In his study, Hitchins emphasizes how Rumania's past history is essential to a clear understanding of its complex present and future. Zusammenfassung The collapse of Communist power has focused attention once again on the processes of nation-building in Central and Eastern Europe. In this comprehensive study, Keith Hitchins traces how Rumania's political and intellectual élites attempted to create an independent state before the advent of Communist rule in 1947.
