  Article:   THE CULTURAL BACKGROUND OF THE TRANSFORMATION IN ROMANIA.

Authors:  DELIA CRISTINA BALABAN. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  Transformation in political culture context is defined as: “the use of political power and artifice to engineer radically changed social and political structures, thus culture patterns and themes: to set society and polity on new courses towards unprecedented objectives.” (Harry Eckstein, A Culturalist Theory of political change, in American Political Science Review, vol.82, no.3, September 1988), This definition has to be adapted in the case of the transformation process that took place in East-and Middle Europe in the last ten years. The radically changes had to be made also with respect to the economical system. If the transformation proceeded because of the culture patterns and themes is a question in itself for the researches of the causes of the crush of the communist systems. If the so called unprecedented objectives are ended not to be found before is a question if the democratically values, institutions and methods had a history in every distinguish ex-communist country.
