After fifteen years of transition in the former communist states of
Central and Eastern Europe it has become clear that for a
substantial number the objective of reform and restructuring
process is a market system in line with membership of the EU. In
this study the long term economic transformation of Romania is
studied, offering a detailed narrative and thematic account of
events from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. From the
first steps towards large scale industrialisation begun prior to
the First World War, through the accelerated pace set by the
communist regime after 1945 and the uncertainty following its
subsequent collapse in 1989, the book addresses a wide range of
pertinent issues that have shaped Romania's economic development.
The study also offers an interpretation of a distinctive phase in
the modernisation of post-communist Romania, supported by
economic-historical surveys of the proceeding century as a context
for recent restructuring on the eve of EU accession. This is linked
with trends in the region as a whole so that a broad perspective is
maintained throughout the book. By highlighting Romania's position
as one of more backward accession states and considering in what
ways its experience during transition differs from the more
developed states of the region, this study offers a valuable
insight into both the history of Romania, and its future prospects.
Furthermore it provides a valuable case study that can be compared
and contrasted with other countries who are likewise still
grappling with the legacy of a centralised economy, and in the
process of adopting a more market orientated approach in order to
gain EU membership. As such this study will be of interest not only
to historians and economists, but anyone with an interest in the
expansion of the European Union.
