Culegerea de studii “Istoria romanilor de la Carol I la Nicolae Ceausescu” reprezinta o reusita sinteza a istoriei noastre pe o perioada de peste un secol, in care Romania a cunoscut diverse regimuri politice si avantul modernizarii, dar si o criza economica si doua razboaie mondiale devastatoare. In acest context economic si politic, romanii au reusit, pentru prima data in istoria lor zbuciumata, sa traiasca toti in granitele unui singur stat – Romania. Prof. univ. dr. Ioan Scurtu a reusit sa fixeze principalii piloni in evolutia istorica de la momentul Marii Uniri pana la regimul comunist al lui Nicolae Ceausescu. De asemenea, evidentiaza pozitia celor mai importante personalitati care au marcat aceasta perioada istorica cum ar fi: Carol I, Nicolae Iorga, Hitler, Constantin Argetoianu si Nicolae Ceausescu, dimpreuna cu pozitia Romaniei la conferintele si tratatele de pace care au avut loc in acest rastimp. Fiecare studiu este realizat cu un deosebit simt istoric si critic, exhaustiv din punct de vedere bibliografic si stiintific. De asemenea, cu fiecare din aceste studii, istoricul si dascalul vine sa completeze istoria romanilor pe perioada sus amintita.
"This volume is the first work to cover post-Communist developments in historical studies in six Eastern European countries (Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, and Bulgaria) from a comparative and critical perspective, written by scholars from the region itself. It is a building block for scholars of the history of European and global historical studies, and a useful pedagogical tool for classes on the history of historical studies. Each individual chapter is in itself a guide to further research through a wealth of detailed notes and references."--BOOK JACKET.
The Red Army in Romania is the first comprehensive study of the Soviet occupation of Romanian territory in 1940-1941, and its occupation of the country at the end of World War II, which lasted until Soviet troops withdrew from the country in 1958. Based on previously unavailable archival sources, it sheds light on the occupation policies of the Red Army and Soviet policy in Eastern Europe generally at the end of World War II. The authors, both well-known historians, discuss the geopolitical and historical conditions that allowed the Red Army to occupy Romania. They analyze the consequences of the occupation on the country, particularly on political life, as it led to the establishment of a Communist regime in Romania. The Red Army in Romania is a valuable book for students and researchers alike. Constantin Hlihor is a professor of history at the University of Bucharest and a researcher at the Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies and at the Academy for Military Studies in Bucharest. Ioan Scurtu is a professor of history at the University of Bucharest and former director of the Romanian National Archives.
"This book traces the country's political history and examines Romania's postcommunist politics, economic transition and foreign policy, and considers the prospects for the country as it enters the twenty-first century."--Jacket

Considering the enormous problems of the Balkans during the 1990s, the experts who contributed to this study believe that there are solutions to the seemingly intractable situation and the legacy of the disintegration of the former Soviet Union.
This book examines the structuring of space in Romanian and Hungarian cinema, and particularly how space is used to express the deep imprint of a socialist past on a post-socialist present. It considers this legacy of the Eastern European socialist regimes by interrogating the suffocating, tyrannical and enclosing structures that are presented in film. By tracing such paradigmatic models as horizontal and vertical enclosure, this book aims to show how enclosed spatial structuring restages the post-socialist era to produce an implicit and collective form of remembrance. While closely scrutinizing the interplay of location and image, Space in Romanian and Hungarian Cinema offers a new approach to the cinema of the region, which unites the filmic productions under a defined, post-socialist Eastern European spatial umbrella. By simultaneously portraying the gloom of a socialist past, while also conveying a sense of longing for a pre-capitalist era, these films convey how sense of unity and also ambivalence is a defining hallmark of Eastern European cinema.
From the interwar period until the end of the Second World War, Romania was in a kind of geopolitical labyrinth, in which it seemed to have multiple possibilities, but they all went in the same direction: the alliance with Germany at the beginning of the Second World War, the act of August 23, 1944 as it stood, and the status subsequently established by the Treaty of Paris. Throughout this period, the Romanian Army played a major role through its leaders and the sacrifice of the Romanian soldiers, and the act of August 23, 1944 was a legitimate and legal act, in which King Mihai I and the Army were the main decision makers. After a presentation of the context of Romania's entry into the Seco...
