| Summary: | Romania since the Second World War "is the first book about Romania designed to chart the progress of the nation under the Communist regime as well as the transition period that followed, providing detailed analysis of the aspects of continuity and change that can be identified over the period as a whole. The book begins with Romania's involvement in the Second World War, looking at the Communist regime in depth. It examines how Communism took hold and the elimination of traditional elites took place, before discussing the impact of Gheorghiu-Dej and Nicolae Caeusescu, the two most important leaders of the Communist era. The following chapters cover the main social and economic changes during the Communist regime. The second part of the book explores the transition period following the end of Communism in 1989, with special attention given to international relations and Romania's drive for inclusion in NATO and the European Union. "Romania since the Second World War" assesses socio-demographic trends across the postwar period before concluding with some thoughts on the nation's development during this time. |
