Preface
This book is about modern nation-building, a process that absorbed the energies of the Rumanian political and intellectual lite between the latter half of the nineteenth century and the Second World War. It traces the efforts of that lite to form a national state encompassing all Rumanians and to provide it with modern political institutions and an economy and social structure based on industry and the city rather than on agriculture and the village. As the leaders of a lesser power they also recognized how crucial shifts in the international order were to the success of their undertakings at home. Thus, this account of nation-building keeps constantly in view Rumania's relations with the great powers. Of all these contacts, those with Western Europe were the most decisive: the West, or 'Europe', as many Rumanians referred to it, served the lite as a model of development, to be followed or avoided, but never ignored.
Political events grouped in five distinct periodsindependence (1866-81), the reign of King Charles (1881-1914), the First World War (1914-18), Greater Rumania (1919-40), and the Second World War (1940-4)provide the framework for this study of modern Rumania. But chronological boundaries have been crossed in order to follow general trends in economic and social development and to discern changes in the way Rumanians thought about themselves. A final chapter deals with the brief period between the overthrow of the wartime military dictatorship in August 1944 and the proclamation of a People's Republic by Rumanian Communists in December 1947. It traces the disintegration of modern Rumania and thus serves as an epilogue to this account of classical national-building.
