„Republica de la Ploiești“ și începuturile parlamentarismului în România
„«Republica de la Ploiești» a intrat în limbajul comun ca un alt nume dat eșecului comic şi nepotrivirii mijloacelor cu scopul idealizat. Dacă îl reducem la acțiunile din ziua de 8 august 1870, episodul poate fi cu greu eliberat din registrul în care l-a fixat Caragiale. Mișcarea trebuie abordată însă în contextul anilor 1866–1871. Cu tot eclectismul şi incoerențele ei, a existat o gândire politică antidinastică, republicană şi «democrată» care trebuie pusă în lumină. Este ambiția acestui volum, un eseu asupra ideilor politice ale vremii și asupra modului în care actorii episodului republican își explică acțiunile și deciziile. Mişcările antidinastic...
Balkan Departures
In writings about travel, the Balkans appear most often as a place travelled to. Western accounts of the Balkans revel in the different and the exotic, the violent and the primitive − traits that serve (according to many commentators) as a foil to self-congratulatory definitions of the West as modern, progressive and rational. However, the Balkans have also long been travelled from. The region’s writers have given accounts of their travels in the West and elsewhere, saying something in the process about themselves and their place in the world. The analyses presented here, ranging from those of 16th-century Greek humanists to 19th-century Romanian reformers to 20th-century writers, socialists and ‘men-of-the-world’, suggest that travellers from the region have also created their own identities through their encounters with Europe. Consequently, this book challenges assumptions of Western discursive hegemony, while at the same time exploring Balkan ‘Occidentalisms’.

Prelude to the First World War
The fuse to the First World War was lit in the Balkans where simmering hatreds exploded into violence. Like a string of firecrackers, these hatreds had been fuelled by attacks on the Turkish Ottoman Empire in the previous few years. From 1911-1912, Italy seized Libya. In 1912, the Balkan states united to drive Turkey out of Europe in the First Balkans War, and in the following year in the Second Balkans War, turned on each other in a division of the spoils which allowed Turkey to retain a foothold in Europe. This was a war of land campaigns, sea battles and amphibious operations in which the new military technology was first used. Submarine and aircraft attacked ships, aircraft made reconnai...
