Nationalismul civic romanesc – tensiunile dintre schitele teoretice si implicatiile practice

Abstract

Starting from the question regarding the nature of Romanian nationhood in relation with the ethnic-civic distinction present in the nation and nationalism literature, in my article I aim to discuss the way in which the Romanians see themselves in regard to the abovementioned typology. My approach is that, the Romanians will find it difficult to disregard their ethno-collectivist lenses in favor of a civic identity.
