The theorists and activists that this paper groups under the heading of Transylvanian Romanian national liberals are most commonly described as members of..

A product of transnational comparative teamwork, this collection represents a coordinated interpretation based on ten varied academic cultures and traditions. The originality of the approach lies in a combination of three factors: [a] seeing nation-building as a process that is to a large extent driven by intellectuals and writers, rather than just a side effect of infrastructural modernization processes; [b] looking at the regional, cross-border ramifications of these processes (rather than in a rigid single-country-by-country perspective) and [c] looking at the autonomous role of intellectuals in these areas, rather than just seeing south-eastern Europe as an appendix to Europe-at-large, passively undergoing European influences. The essays explore the political instrumentalization of the concepts of folk, people and ethnos in south-eastern Europe in the “long 19th century” by ...

It argues that the corporation, though apparently a Hegelian re- appropriation of the medieval institution of the guild, serves as a cornerstone for a very modern conception of the political state and of society: corporatism is the solution Hegel devises for guarding against the increased atomization of society that came about with the advent of the modern, highly institutionalized state, a social development which would ultimately endanger the very existence of that same state. The paper looks into the version of corporatism proposed by Hegel and argues that the Hegelian model of smaller scale human associations could prove a valuable addition to liberal models of the state.
