Eugenic and Biopolitical Studies in Romania: State-of-the-art and Future Objectives
Eugenic and Biopolitical Studies in Romania: State-of-the-art and Future Objectives

Summary/Abstract: The scholarship on eugenics and biopolitics continues to be trans-national and European-wide working specifically on political and medical trends that encompass all aspects of the eugenic experience. Research should include both qualitative and quantitative analyses. Here the emphasis is on the crises brought about by modernity often expressed in terms of a synthesis of political ideologies with eugenics. The Romanian case will advance academic knowledge of international history of eugenics. It adds historical detail to a more complex revisionist perspective arguing that there was in fact a considerable transfer of medical knowledge between Western and Eastern Europe, and that complex process refined the experience of eugenics.
