Journal Title: Revista de Stiinte Politice. Revue des Sciences Politiques - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 59

Abstract

This paper analyzes from a historical point of view the opinions of Western analysts and historians (but also Romanians - especially within foreign papers) the Romanian Revolution and the Transition period from 1989 till 2000. Firstly we have studied the authors opinions pointing in some cases our opinion as well. In this paper we have used the narrative (showing the opinions and indirectly the events) but also the analytical method. We consider that in 1989 we are dealing with a revolution and that from 1990 till 2000 the Iliescu and Constantinescu regimes have assured a transition towards democracy, but a transition characterized by many problems. At the same time we have analyzed some economic problems and the geopolitical situation of Romania in the twentieth century.
