The focus is on intellectual debates in early twentieth-century Romania, especially as engendered by the theory of ?forms without substance? as an alternative project of modernization for the periphery and the follow-up confrontation between the socialist Constantin Dobrogeanu-Gherea and the Poporanist Constantin Stere on the issue of social and economic development.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of World-Systems Research}, author={Boatca, Manuela}, year={2005}, month={Feb.}, pages={3–26} }
