%0 Journal Article %T The Hungarian Identity Discourse in Post-Communist Romania %A Monica Andriescu %A Sergiu Gherghina %J Sfera Politicii %D 2012 %I Funda?ia Societatea Civil? %X This article explores the political aspects of national minority identity by analyzing the discourse of the political representative of the Hungarian minority in post-communist Romania (the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania). Political discourse (party programs, parliamentary debates) and document analysis are used to illustrate two levels of discourse: symbolic and substantive. The article shows that elite discourse has shaped the political role and claims of the Hungarian minority, which influenced the minority nation-building process, as well as the content of the diversity accommodation framework in post-communist Romania. %K identity politics %K minorities %K discourse %K mobilization %K Romania %U http://www.sferapoliticii.ro/sfera/171/art10-Andriescu_Gherghina.php
