Romania between the Wars. Institutional Backgrounds and Political Practice

Abstract

A major problem of reunited Romania was the integration of the new provinces in the economy and legislation of the Kingdom. This difficult mission failed to succed, although there were many capable people, who handled the Romanian policy at that time, from Ionel Brătianu to Iuliu Maniu or Ion Nistor and Ion Incule&, to name liders from all the provinces. The old disfunctionalities from the Romanian policy "said their word again" by creating discontents, which, finally led to the bankrupcy of the parliamentary democracy from Romania. The old political class missed the important moments of the new start. Shortly, the hopes concerning the agricultural reform were also exhausted, the peasants facing majore difficulties, which led most of them to bankrupcy.
