Description

Those who study Romania must confront the theoretical challenges posed by a country that is undergoing a profound transformation from a repressive totalitarianism regime to a hazy and as yet unrealized democratic government. The most comprehensive survey of Romanian politics and society ever published abroad, this volume represents an effort to collect and analyze data on the complex problems of Romania's past and its transition into an uncertain future. Henry F. Carey has brought together the world's leading scholars on Romania to discuss key aspects of the country's sites of conflict in a groundbreaking work that includes six resident Romanian authors who rarely publish in the global academic press. Romania since 1989 is must for anyone seeking either a basic understanding or a sophisticated analysis of contemporary Romania. The book is also an invaluable resource for those who study the economies and governments of other countries in transition, as it presents an ideal case study with lessons that can be applied elsewhere.

Media Reviews

Henry Carey's collection Romania since 1989: Politics, Economics, and Society captures with great precision the complex, contradictory reality of contemporary Romania. Bringing together Romanian, west European, and American authors from fields as diverse as anthropology, political science, economics, law, print and broadcast journalism, social work, and literature, the volume covers vast ground, but with striking detail and scholarship and a common core approach concerned with the nature of Romanian exceptionalism. The essays range widely across the spectrum of post-socialist Romanian events and conditions, from labor and government to environment and social issues. Together they provide perhaps the most comprehensive view of the continuing, murky, contested reality that is Romania today. The book is a must-read for any scholar of modern Romania, of East-Central Europe, and of the uncertain, troubled times that is post-socialism. -- David A. Kideckel, Central Connecticut State University
This is an exceptionally valuable resource on Romania's politics, economics, and society as the emerged from Ceausescu's communism.... Essential. * Choice Reviews *
Leading international scholars provide a fascinating and often disturbing portrait of Romania, South-East-Europe's largest state since the break-up of Yugoslavia. In chapters which blend scholarship with accessibility, they show how little progress has been made in overcoming legacies of dictatorship and misrule. The wealth of detail and quality of insights will make this an excellent sourcebook for students of political change after the Cold War and ought to be taken seriously by policy practitioners increasingly involved with Romania's problems. -- Tom Gallagher, University of Bradford, Great Britain
