  Article:   THE CITIZENSHIP ISSUE IN THE “GREAT ROMANIA” (1918-1940).

Authors:  LUCIAN BUTARU.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  The citizenship was “always a problem on the agenda of the day for 20 years” (Victor Iamandi, Minister for Justice). By getting into the daily natural practice, this analysis of the Romanian juridical discourse tries to reveal how the citizenship issue reflected the making of the “Great Romania”. Beside education, which functioned as an inclusion instrument, the citizenship represented an exclusion instrument used for a sort of “inner reconquista” of Romania. The Romanian politicians used to see Romania as an ethnic space with a variable and somehow manipulable geometry: before 1918, the variable was the territory and after that – the population.
