Seria Historica, vol. XLVII (2008): 74–75. Cluj-Napoca: Romanian Academy, “George Barițiu” Institute of History. ISSN 1220-5176.<br>(Book review authored by Artur-Lóránd Lakatos.)</p> <p>http://www.historica-cluj.ro/anuare/AnuarHistorica2008/NoteBibliografice.pdf</p> <p>The book was highly appreciated and recommended by many historians of great standing, such as Vasile Vese, Adrian Ivan, Ioan Ciupercă, and many others who also referred to the book favourably. A positive review was also published in the academic journal of the “George Barițiu” Institute of History in Cluj-Napoca of the Romanian Academy. According to the reviewer, the introduction of the book is not long but “very substantial,” as “the author illustrates his firm and complete theoretical knowledge in this field” and clearly specifies the work’s main objectives, methodology, sources used, and the structure of the entire work.</p> <p>The first chapter bears the title “The Concept of Europe and European Integration – Political and Cultural Aspects” (<em>Conceptul de Europa şi integrarea europeană, aspecte politice şi culturale</em>). It contains mostly a theoretical approach, defining the concept of Europe from geographical, cultural, and political perspectives, presenting, explaining, and analysing the historical ideas of European unity. The book achieves this in a selective manner, without going too much into detail, covering the period until the beginning of the 20th century.</p> <p>The next chapter, “The Idea of Europe During the Centuries and Its Reflections in School Textbooks from Interwar Romania” (<em>Ideea de Europa de-a lungul secolelor şi reflectarea sa în manualele de istorie universală</em>), represents “an original approach, characterized by interdisciplinarity and courage.” It is meant to analyse and synthesize the perspective of Romanian historical education in the interwar period on everything that may be called “European.” As appreciated in the academic journal in Cluj, this chapter “is very well structured and could be published in almost any periodical with academic value (both in Romania and abroad) as a separate study.” It addresses History, Philosophy, Sociology, and Educational Sciences at the same time and employs both their methods and contents. The chapter was designed to have not only scientific but also educational value, as it proves the existence of a connection between European unity ideas and the main representatives of Romanian scientific, cultural, and educational life of that time, by analysing history textbooks written by Nicolae Iorga, Andrei Oțetea, Ioan Lupaș, P. P. Panaitescu, etc.</p> <p>It is highly significant that the Briand Plan was included in the Romanian universal history textbooks for high schools, thus enabling students to learn about it and internalize the idea of European Union. These pupils were preparing to become the future economic, political, and cultural elite of the country.</p> <p>Chapter 3, “The Ideal of European Union and the Divergent Interests of States” (<em>Idealul Uniunii Europene în confruntare cu interesele divergente ale statelor</em>), analyses the relationship between the interwar European states’ foreign policies and their visions of European collaboration, cooperation, and unity. The most frequently cited sources are the archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bucharest, specifically the Geneva fund. The idea expressed in the chapter’s title “could be the subject of several dozen Ph.D. theses,” and, as a chapter, it serves only as an introduction to the next one.</p> <p>The fourth chapter is longer than the previous three combined and bears the title “Reactions of the Great Powers Which Decided the Fate of the Briand Project for a European Union” (<em>Reacţiile marilor puteri care au decis soarta Proiectului Briand de Uniune Europeană</em>). The methodology used in this chapter is characteristic of research in the field of International Relations. It summarizes the attitudes of various European Great Powers toward the political realities in Europe at the time, as well as toward the Briand Project itself. The largest part of the analysis is dedicated to Weimar Germany, with the author adopting “a very harsh critical” stance on its revisionist policy. The chapter also analyses the positions of Great Britain, Italy, and the Soviet Union. The sources include books and archival documents.</p> <p>The chapter “The Position of the States from Central Europe Toward the Briand Project for a European Union” (<em>Poziţiile statelor din Europa centrală faţă de Proiectul Briand de Uniune Europeană</em>) is similar in subject and method to the previous one. It presents a comparative perspective on the attitudes of the following East- and Central European states: Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, and Romania. The main sources are diplomatic archives, including documents from Geneva and France. In Romania’s case, additional internal archival collections are cited.</p> <p>“The Commission for the Study of the European Union Project (1930–1937). Romania: A Founding and Active Member of the European Commission” (<em>Comisia de Studiu pentru Uniunea Europeană, 1930–1937. România: membru fondator şi activ al Comisiei Europene</em>) constitutes the sixth chapter of the book. It is dedicated to the activity of the European Commission that examined and debated possible ways of implementing the EU project. The focus is placed on the role of Romanian diplomats and specialists, presented in “extremely detailed” fashion, as the proceedings and outcomes of each session are analysed individually. In 1930–1937, Romania was an active member of the Commission of Inquiry for the European Union and energetically supported European economic construction. Titulescu proposed concrete economic solutions in the interest of the agrarian countries of Central and South-Eastern Europe, to overcome the overproduction crisis. The Commission adopted these proposals and succeeded in signing a convention establishing the International Company of Agricultural Mortgage Credit. The resolutions of the Commission, however, were never implemented due to the lack of political will from the global powers.</p> <p>Finally, for the sake of completeness, the book concludes with a chronological summary of the main historical events in the process of European integration from the end of World War II onward.</p> <p>It has been appreciated that “the book is a good one, well-written, with an interesting subject, about which the Romanian public knew little until now. It is very important that it presents, in most cases, the position of Romania, Romanian politicians, and intellectuals toward the current European affairs of the period in discussion—especially those related to the process of construction (or, if we date it from the emergence of the ECSC: the pre-construction) of a common European identity and structures.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Title:<br>“Simion Costea, ‘Ideea Europeană și interesele statelor’, Cluj-Napoca: Napoca Star, 2005, 280 pp.”</p> <p>Authors:<br>Artur-Lóránd Lakatos</p> <p>Publication type:<br>Article</p> <p>Description:<br>Book review authored by Artur-Lóránd Lakatos on the volume Ideea Europeană și interesele statelor [The European Idea and the Interests of States], written by Professor Dr. Habil.
