Criza politicii. Totalitarismul ca expresie a crizei politicii în secolul XX
The crisis of politics. Totalitarianism as an expression of the crisis of politics in the 20th century

Summary/Abstract: The underlining idea of this essay is that nowadays politics, in its entirety, is going through a profound crisis that impairs on its efficiency (performances that is), on its relationship with other fields and, last but by no means not least with the destiny of individuals, of human communities and humanity as a whole. We are talking about a general, structural and relational global crisis, a crisis that touches issues like efficacy, legitimacy, authority, trust and non the less morality. The most dramatic expression of politics’ crisis in the twentieth century, totalitarianism, a phenomenon considered to have become part of history (thus irreversible), has still retain the potential to make a comeback, although in other forms, more insidious ones. The overcoming of the current political crisis, requires, among others, a more intense professionalization combined with a process of ‘on-going’ re-moralization of politics through the concerted action of the new civil society with the help of mass media.
