Abstract

The topic of the paper is related to the development of the Romanian foreign policy during few decades of the Communist era. The initiative is based on the general observation that starting the 60's Romania started to distance herself from Moscow's guidance and it developed stronger ties with Western countries, but also with the so-called Third World group. This is the general context which made possible questions such as Had Romania developed an autonomous foreign policy? If yes, who designed it? or What exactly meant an autonomous policy?
