  Article:   NATIONALISM AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN ROMANIA.

Authors:  MIKAELA BILLSTRÖM.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  This paper examines how the relationship between national identity and European integration is framed in the contemporary Romanian political discourse. The focus lies on both the international relations context of identity discourse as well as the national context, thus examining how the western and the non-western classification of nationalism instruct and affect the national identity processes in Romania. I analyse what perceptions of Romanian national identity that can be read in speeches by Traian Băsescu and Corneliu Vadim Tudor, thus investigating how identity-creating symbols are used in order to form the Romanian national identity.

Keywords: Romania, national identity, discourse theory.
