Cosmin Mihuţ, Politics and national discourse during the reign of Alexandru D. Ghica (1834-1842)

Summary/Abstract: Book review. The volume Politics and National Discourse during the Reign of Alexandru D. Ghica (1834-1842) represents a significant contribution to the transition to modernity and the struggle for national emancipation in Wallachia. The 283 pages of text provide a fresh perspective on the politics during the reign of Alexandru D. Ghica, aiming to explain the “transition” towards “modern politics” in Wallachia, in connection with the formation of the discourse for national emancipation. Cosmin Mihuț, the author of this volume, is a lecturer at the Faculty of History, “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași, and obtained his PhD from the same faculty in 2015. His research focuses on the history of politics from the perspective of discursive practices, representations, forms of power legitimation in the first half of the 19th century, national discourse, and national emancipation in the Romanian Principalities, as well as the history of international relations, particularly regarding the Great Powers’ policies towards the Romanian Principalities within the context of the “Eastern Question”.
