The edited volume Creative Negotiations. Romania – America 1920-1940, eds. Sonia D. Andraș, Roxana Mihaly, has just been published.
- Description:
- Throughout the interwar period, America’s interest in Romania grew and encompassed not only political, diplomatic, and historical aspects but also financial, cultural, and educational contributions.
- Thus, the Romanian- American ties throughout the interwar period suggest innate complexity and dynamism. This volume presents novel techniques and issues examined from an interdisciplinary, multi-perspective, and intercultural outlook. These approaches are derived from ideas such as discussion, negotiation, educational, and cultural communications.

The edited volume Romanian American Negotiations in Education, Science, Culture, and Arts, eds. Cornel Sigmirean, Sonia D. Andraș, Roxana Mihaly, has just been published.
- Description:
- As a political model for the young democracy in interwar Romania, as a protector against threats to the sovereignty and integrity of the state, as a cultural model, and as a daily life, America represented for Romania a reference point, a factor of stability and progress. America was a model and ally of the civilized world!
- Unfortunately, isolated in the interwar period from the political realities on the continent, America saw how, at the end of the ‘30s, the political creation of the Paris Peace Conference collapsed, the US being invited to “abandon jazz” to enter a new war on the European continent, extended to Asia and Africa, to save civilization, alongside the UK. At the war’s end, Eastern Europe fell victim to communist totalitarianism imposed by the USSR, and its peoples were forced to abandon the Western model of civilization in favor of the communist model. However, after 45 years of communism, the American model became negotiable again as a cultural, economic, and political model for Romanians, allowing us to reconstruct essential pages in the history of interwar Romania in the context of Romanian- American relations.

After nearly a hundred years of isolationist foreign policy based on the Monroe Doctrine, America entered World War I, and at the Paris Peace Conference, Woodrow Wilson was the first American president to cross the ocean in an official capacity. But he was coming to Paris not only in the name of America, but with an agenda concerning the entire globe, determined to fundamentally change the foundations of international relations (Charles Zorgbibe). From the politics rooted in the balance of power, which he saw as the main source of conflict, he would make the transition to the world of international institutions, epitomized by the League of Nations and enshrined in principles that were described as visionary by the president’s supporters, and lambasted as utopian by his detractors. What is certain is that Wilson played a decisive role in redefining the borders of Central Europe, in accordance with the Inquiry recommendations and the principle of self-determination (Larry Wolff). Afterwards, the idea that the rule of law should prevail over the use of force led to a series of debates centered on the Wilsonian vision in which the small countries enjoyed equal rights with the big ones, and the majority was envisioned to protect the minority, rather than destroy it. At the same time, the failures associated with these principles are also part of the discussion on Wilsonism since xenophobic nationalism, ethnicism and opposition to being citizens of a world rooted in universal peace would come to characterize the 20th century and especially the interwar period. In Romania, the union of the three regions – Bessarabia, Bucovina and Transylvania – would also be based on the principle of self-determination. Notably, the same concept also applied to the issue of protecting minorities and different ways of organizing the state: while officials in the Old Kingdom preferred the centralist model, some leaders in the new provinces were in favor of a regionalist or even autonomous form of organization.
Wilsonism and Americanism are concepts whose application deserves special attention also when taking into account the humanitarian aid sent across the ocean to post-war Romania. In this sense, we identify two research directions: an ideological dimension and an imagological one. Where the studies written by Ion Stanciu and Anca Crețu present the activity of various American organizations in Romania during this period and detail their impact on Romanian society, our analysis focuses on the message promoted by the American Junior Red Cross, which at that time, was a newly established organization dedicated to young Americans. Here, the messages published in the "Junior Red Cross News" magazine, on behalf of American children play a special role, since they conveyed the idea that post-war Americanism aimed to create a better world with the help of the youth. We will present how the Romanian representatives took up this challenge to reciprocate by examining the content of the sister publication from Romania: "Revista Crucii Roșii a Tinerimii". Our analysis will also include the letters that American schoolchildren and other young people sent to Queen Maria and Princess Ileana. Last but not least, our study will also follow how the American nurses regarded Romania in those years. The documentation will be based on primary sources from the National Archives Records Administration, the National Archives of Romania, the Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from Bucharest, the Romanian Red Cross Archive, as well as letters, memos and diaries of those involved. In terms of secondary sources, we will also consult the literature on the history of the Red Cross during the interwar period.

Abstract: In her study "Crossing the Borders of Cultures: the First Wave of American War Correspondents in Romania. The Transylvanian Case", Carmen Andraş focuses on American war correspondents’ representations about Romania between 1916 and the early 1930s. Methodologically, the author deploys the respective analysis in the framework of travel studies and imagology. Carmen Andraş identifies two waves of 20th century American correspondents who travelled to Romania. The respective paper concentrates on the first wave, beginning with World War I, when most of the American reporters were coming from Russia and continuing until the early 1930s, when the installation of dictatorship and political right wing extremism was now obvious in Romania. In the author’s opinion, the second wave of American correspondents coming to Romania, started in the late 1930s and early 1940s and was much more representative, both in quantity and quality. Generally, the American interests in Romania in the circumstances of world wars were military and diplomatic, economic, and political. Generally, the American war correspondents paved the way for a better knowledge and understanding of Romania in the USA.
