| Title | The Romanian Anti-Systemic 2012-2014 Cycle: From an Apparent Critical Position to Reassimilation in the Old Political System |
| Summary | In this paper I look at the birth of the Romanian new civil society focusing on the Bucharest scene. Analysing its development from the 2012 anti-austerity protest to the 2013 environmental Roșia Montană anti gold mining protests I try to see how it was possible for a movement that seemed to start out as anti-systemic to be reincorporated by factions of the the old political system to then face internal conflict and dissolution. In the process I critically discuss and develop what the ‘legacy of postsocialism’ and ‘anti-communist discourse’ amount to arguing that a postsocialist variant of neoliberal rationality has been carved out. |
