THE POLITICAL SUBJECT IN DANIEL BARBU’S THOUGHT. A CRITICAL INQUIRY

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to explore the notion of the “political subject” as discussed by DanielBarbu in his seminal works. Building on the author’s method of analyzing the evolution ofthe political subject in the context of specific political events, this study aims to problematizeBarbu’s theses on the political subject within the constitutional context of modern Romania(after 1866). Starting from the way Barbu understands the citizen of post-communist Romaniaas a state creation, the study formulates, in its conclusions, the following question for futureresearch: Do the peaceful protests of the last ten years, viewed as a constitutional form of politicalparticipation, indicate the development of a political society comprised of autonomouscitizens, who are aware of their rights and willing to claim them in relation to the state?
