Book launch and debate: 'The Klaus Iohannis Era?'
Tuesday,16 December – 6 pm.
tranzit. ro/Cluj, Napoca str, no 16, 1st floor, Cluj Napoca
On December 16, starting at 6 p.m. tranzit.ro/Cluj in collaboration with Tact Publishing House is organizing a public debate and the launch of the book "The Klaus Iohannis Era?"
However difficult and problematic it may be to choose a historical milestone that marks the beginning of the political crisis that led to the rise of the far right and the 2024 elections, we must admit that the chosen periodization influences the explanation. Given the title of this book, it is clear that in what follows we will focus on the question of whether or not there is a "Klaus Iohannis era." Therefore, we believe that there is a structural link between Iohannis's terms in office and the mismanagement of the multiple crises in Romania between 2014 and 2025. What defines the period in question? What are the effects of the resulting public uncertainty? And how can we think about these transformations beyond the limits of methodological nationalism, so that we can more flexibly frame them within the coordinates of the current international polycrisis?
The discussion will be hosted by Mihnea Bâlici and Vali Stan, and the guest speakers will be: Oana Mateescu, Dana Domșodi, Cristina Raț, Vlad Bejinariu, Gabriel Troc, Mihai Iacob, Anna Iosif, Sorana Constantinescu, and Carina Puiu.
