The politics of pragmatism. Romania and CMEA during Ceauşescu’s regime, II: 1986-1989

Summary/Abstract: At the mid-1980s the Romanian leadership manifested increasing interest towards collaboration within CMEA. Two factors led to this approach: difficulty in Romanian exports on the Western market and the continuously increasing need for fuels and raw materials. Despite Nicolae Ceauşescu’s being keen to traditional cooperation methods, the difficult economic situation pressed him into agreeing on new forms of collaboration, such as joint enterprises seen in the past as a breach on national sovereignty.
