Chapter Chapter 5 in Economic Dualism and Agrarian Policies, 2020, pp 47-68 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter takes a closer look at the main turning points in the evolution of the Romanian modern agriculture and the structural reform policies that shaped it before the communist takeover of the country in 1948. It begins with the second half of the nineteenth century, when the overall modernization of the country and its opening to the West European markets started to accelerate. It then moves to the dramatic changes brought about by its entering in the Soviet sphere of influence at the end of the Second World War. The chapter looks at the nature of specific policies in the context of Romania’s efforts toward modernization, groups them under meaningful categories, and provides a concise analysis of their technicalities, structural aspects and overall consequences for the process of agricultural development.
