| Title | Nations, Nationalisms and the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy |
| Summary | The subject chosen for research has had a turbulent historiographical past, and can be considered quite controversial, in more ways than one. Interpretative strategies of different nationality and political affiliation went about rendering the Romanian political elite of Transylvania in altogether dissimilar fashion. But most agree that their special brand of regionally developed nationalism and political activism were paramount in the developments which took place and reverberated into Hungarian and Romanian history. This generation of politicians was instrumental in the development of a discourse of contestation towards the centre, based on mass politics and territorial nationalism . This dissertation will focus on showing how Transylvanian Romanian nationalism and national-political elite diachronically altered its discourse, spawning, from the same root, ideologies that ranged from dynastic loyalty, to democracy and populist nationalism. |
