Introduction: Contemporary Romanian politics
Romania is an archetypical case of protracted post-communism. Its regime transition was problematic and its founding election flawed, allowing successor communists to secure their hold on power. A period of quasi-authoritarianism and failed reform followed until critical elections in 1996 brought the liberal opposition to power for the first time. Since that time its political system has stabilized into a pattern in which electoral competition oc…

Ethnic Politics and the Post-Communist Transition in Moldova
During the late 1980s the Soviet Socialist Republic of Moldavia, like many other regions within the former USSR, entered into a period of political turmoil. As the grip of the Communist Party weakened, increasingly serious conflict broke out between the Romanian-speaking majority and minority activists. Separatist forces quickly established themselves in two of the republic's regions, Transnistria on the east bank of the Dnestr river and the Gaga…

A comparative analysis of institutional development in the Romanian and Moldovan legislatures
In this paper, we compare the process of legislative institutionalisation in Romania and Moldova. We examine three broad factors which influence this process: the political culture and the institutional framework inherited from the previous regime, the policy environment and the internal organisation of the legislature. This line of research is important for three reasons. First, the literature on post‐Communist legislatures has not attempted to …

The Politics of Ethno-National Mobilization: Nationalism and Reform in Soviet Moldavia
U nder the impact of glasnost and perestroika, nationalism, long a serious potential threat to Soviet political life, has become the principal force affecting the future of the Soviet state. Regions as diverse as the Baltic republics, Central Asia, and the Caucasus have experienced unrest ranging from mass demonstrations against perceived injustices to intercommunal massacres. What is the relationship between political reform and nationalist mobi…
"Ceausescuismn" and Civil-Military Relations in Romania
This article discusses the relationship between the Romanian armed forces and the leadership of the Romanian Communist party. It suggests that this relationship has been complicated, and made more difficult, by Romania's pursuit of foreign policy autonomy from the Soviet Union. Ceausescu has relied more on direct political intervention and less on positive inducements to retain control of the armed forces than have his counterparts elsewhere in E…
Philippine Authoritarianism and the International Economy
In 1972 Ferdinand Marcos imposed martial law in the Philippines, instituting an authoritarian regime and toppling what was thought to be the most stable democratic government in Southeast Asia. How significant was the role of Philippine ties with the international environment in the advent of authoritarianism? The Philippine position in the world economy has been intimately related to its domestic politics since independence. Similarities between…
