România si criza cehoslovacă.Mecanismele actului decizional din august 1968
Romania and the Czechoslovak Crisis. Mechanisms of Decision Making, August 1968

Summary/Abstract: The Bucharest officials were well informed about the events which took place in Czechoslovakia in the beginning of the 1986. Measures for monitoring the events in the communist camp were set, but in practice little was done. The information gathered allowed Romania to plan a certain behavior in the international relations. However, according to this study, one should distinguish between the short-term strategic evaluation and the way the crisis was managed in the morning of August 21st, 1968. After analyzing the decisional process undertaken in Bucharest, we can consider Ceausescu’s condemnation of the invasion as the result of the misinterpretation of the information related to the political and diplomatic actions of the Warsaw Treaty, according to which the invasion of Romania was afoot.
