Resurgence How Central and Eastern Europe can shape the 21st century

Taken together, these texts invite the reader not only to revisit the past half-decade with the benefit of hindsight, but also to recognise the enduring patterns that continue to shape our present and will likely define the decade ahead. They underscore how the interplay of vision and circumstance can generate both opportunity and constraint, reminding us that ideas are forged not in isolation but through dialogue with the turbulence of their time. As such, the collection stands less as a final
word than as a point of departure—an invitation to refine, contest, and build upon these arguments in pursuit of a more coherent and resilient strategic posture for Romania and for the Eastern Flank within NATO. If
the first part of this book lays out a roadmap, the second offers the terrain from which that path emerged, a reminder that the future must always be grounded in the lessons, debates, and aspirations of the recent past.
