Product Description
Review
'An excellent update on Romania after Ceau?escu, with enough historical background, especially on the legacy of underdevelopment, to make contemporary Romania comprehensible for a Western reader A... his most original contribution is the discussion on international assistance to Romania. Gallagher criticises both the IMF, for its contribution to the failure of Romania's 1997-2000 governments, and the EU for its lack of deeper understanding of what Europeanization means for Romania.' -Alina Mungiu-Pippidi, Romanian Journal of Political Science 'One of the remarkable features of this book is that it offers a comprehensive picture of 'modern' Romania, but never forgets to deliver unagitated, detailed facts for the analysis it promises to deliver. This book is about Romania, but at the same time it is a story about Eastern Europe which raises a lot of broader issues about governance, democracy-and ultimately history and time. Tom Gallagher's timely anlysis...helps to understand the particular situation in Romania, but at the same time the 'bigger picture' and deficiencies of the Western European model of governance and assistance in South-Eastern Europe'. -Tobias Denskus, (Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, UK), in Balkan Academic News, 29 3 October 2005 'Tom Gallagher's book shows a very good grasp of popular aspirations, politico-economic phenomena, and the priorities A... of Romanian politicians A... His critique A... must be seen as that of a political scientist cum historian who is far from indifferent to social injustice, economic backwardness and the politico-adminstrative standards of contemporary Romania. Theft of A Nation is a notable undertaking. The reflections and insights deriving from the vast material consulted suggests to me that this book is a first-hand reference work that merits the attention of both Romanian and European elites'. -Victor Neumann (Professor of History, University of Timisoara), in 22 Magazine, Nr 808, 30 August 2005, Bucharest.
