Summary/Abstract: Lorena Armulescu writes about the national identity using two different theories. Joseph Nyiri believes that the small states had to develop a “political genius” for surviving, while the powerful states had the opportunity to build philosophical systems, arts and so on. On the other hand, Alina Mungiu-Pippidi talks about the elite in politics, which can face any demands, no matter what state it belongs to.
