Democratic Consolidation and Europeanization in Romania : A One-Way Journey or a Return Ticket?

This volume is a multi-dimensional analysis of Romania's political, economic, cultural and societal transformation after 1989.

It synthetically depicts the main stages of the processes of democratic transition and consolidation, as well as the subsequent phenomena of Europeanization, but also the series of more recent democratic setbacks that affected the Romanian society.

The overall perspective is integrative, providing the reader with a balanced and complete understanding of Romania's post-communist challenges without being spared of the most sensitive aspects.

The volume gathers the contributions of some of the most distinguished experts in different sub-fields of transition studies, including political systems, societal transformations, minority rights, macro-economic dynamics, and foreign policy.
