What is The Beginnings of a Modern State about?

The Century From The 1774 Treaty Of Kuchuk Kainardji (between Russia And The Ottoman Empire) To The End Of Prince Alexandru Cuza's Reign In 1866 Stands As A Distinct Era In The Development Of Modern Romania. It Marks The Transition From Long-established Agrarian Economic And Social Structures, And Medieval Political Forms, To A Society Moulded By Urban And Industrial Values And Held Together By Allegiance To The Nation-state. This Initial Period Of Nation-building Was Characterized By Dramatic Shifts Of Mentality And Significant Changes In Economic And Social Life. The Principal Changes Included: The Freeing Of The Principalities Of Moldavia And Wallachia From Ottoman Turkish Dominion And Their Union To Form The Core Of Modern Romania; The Cultivation Of The Idea Of The Ethnic Nation As The Foundation Of Community; The Emergence Of New Ways Of Producing Goods And Doing Business, Notably The Advance Of Capitalism In Agriculture And Industry; And The Relentless Advance Of Western Political Forms, Economic Models And Cultural Achievements. This Original And Ground-breaking Work Is The First Attempt To Treat The Period 1774-1866 As A Distinct Stage In The Evolution Of Modern Romania An
