The Economy of Nations. Some Reflections about the Impact of Economic State Policies in South-Eastern Europe after the First World War

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to explain the economic side of nationalism and the political strategy that many Nation-States of Eastern Europe carried out after the First World War. In those years, the settlement of Central-Eastern Europe was completely changed and the new borders, together with the dissolution of the old Empires, created a complex reality in which trade and economic exchanges were affected too. In this context, the effects of the war were further aggravated by the problems concerning the new economic policies of many States that tried to combine political independence with a vigorous support of national economy. The consequences of this approach were particularly evident in the management of banks and industrial enterprises and in the definition of radical agrarian reforms.
