description: This, the first comprehensive first-hand account of post-1989 Romania, shows how ex-communist officials have used nationalism to delay the country's passage from a closed to an open political system. Arguing that an agenda of limited change has been pursued by reluctant democrats who have acquired legitimacy by promoting nationalist values from the precommunist era, this is a welcome supplement and balance to media coverage of Romania, placing Romanian nationalism in a wider European context.
