POLITICA ȘI PRINCIPIUL NAŢIONALITĂŢII ÎN TRANSILVANIA ÎNAINTE DE MAREA UNIRE (II)
POLITICS AND THE PRINCIPLE OF NATIONALITY IN TRANSYLVANIA BEFORE THE GREAT UNION (II)

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to examine the principle of nationalities as a main concept in the Transylvanian Romanians political thought from the end of the nineteenth century until the Great Union of 1918. The assumption of this approach is that the radicalism of the policy towards the nationalities in Transleithania involved (1) the specificity of instituting the principle of nationalities as doctrinal basis of the militant demarche, petitioner-memorandist and political, in combating the Hungarian policy towards nationalities and in imposing the recognition of nationalities as political nations in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, and (2) a specific incorporation of the principle of nationalities within federalist conceptions. As such the second part of this paper contains a configuration of the “nationality principle” in Aurel C. Popoviciʼs works.
