România și schisma sovieto-chineză, IV Conflictul din C.A.E.R., 1962-1963
Romania and the Sino-Soviet Schism, IV, The Conflict within COMECON, 1962-1963

Summary/Abstract: One of the most important accelerators of Romania’s break with the Soviets and of its rapprochement with China was N.S. Khrushchev’s intention to revamp the COMECON after the Common Market model. Greater economic integration, superstate planning, creation of joint enterprises by branches would have benefited the more developed countries of the communist bloc and favored a partial loss of national sovereignty. All these aspects incurred a determined opposition from the RWP leaders, who started looking for new economic alternatives (in the West) and political options (in China).
