Full Description

This book presents a systematic description and analysis of Romanian political life from the establishment of the modern Romanian national state in 1859 to the abdication crisis of 1871 that marked a turning point in the development of the country. Romanian diplomatic history in the modern period has been well and extensively studied, both in Romania and elsewhere. This has led, ironically, to a slightly distorted picture of Romanian development, one in which external developments appear to take precedence over domestic events and processes. While the histories of smaller countries may be more influenced by international affairs than larger or more isolated nations, it would be a mistake to think of Romanian history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as primarily dominated by diplomatic events and forces. This study tries to correct such tendencies.This title was selected by Choice as an "Outstanding Academic Book" for 1998.
