    Summary

    By the time the communist dictatorship of Nicolae Ceau?escu collapsed in December 1989, Romania was more backward and autarchic than other Central and East European countries, perhaps with the exception of Albania. Since then, the country has experienced a rocky democratization and marketization process under Presidents Ion Iliescu (1990–1996 and 2000–2004), Emil Constantinescu (1996–2000), Traian Basescu (2004–2014), and Klaus Iohannis (since 2014). The chapter summarizes post-communist Romania’s political, economic, and social transitions before and after the country’s acceptance as a European Union member state in January 2007. The establishment of the semi-presidential republic, the introduction of a free market economy, the representation of minorities in political institutions, the adoption of transitional justice programs, and relations between the state and the country’s main religious denominations are discussed in some detail, together with the weakness of the civil society, pervasive clientelism, and political corruption.

Transitional Justice and the Former Soviet Union
  • Transitional Justice and the Former Soviet Union
  • Reviewing the Past, Looking toward the Future

    In the twenty-five years since the Soviet Union was dismantled, the countries of the former Soviet Union have faced different circumstances and responded differently to the need to redress and acknowledge the communist past and the suffering of their people. While some have adopted transitional justice and accountability measures, others have chosen to reject them; these choices have directly affected state building and societal reconciliation efforts. This is the most comprehensive account to date of post-Soviet efforts to address, distort, ignore, or recast the past through the use, manipulation, and obstruction of transitional justice measures and memory politics initiatives. Editors Cynthia M. Horne and Lavinia Stan have gathered contributions by top scholars in the field, allowing the disparate post-communist studies and transitional justice scholarly communities to come together and reflect on the past and its implications for the future of the region.
