Informed by research conducted for the Revisiting Ditró, Racial Capitalism and Immigration, and our various partner projects, this essay series aims at communicating Romanian – and Hungarian – speaking audiences a critique of the most pressing social, economic, political, and cultural issues pervading Romanian society under the hegemony of progressive neoliberalism. The essays have been classified in the following manner:

1. 1.  Neoliberal populism and anti-corruption discourse
   2.  Racial capitalism under progressive neoliberalism
   3.  Race and ethnicity as forms of exclusion: Hungarians, immigrants, and the Roma.
   4.  Alternatives of economic policy and political cycles in Romania
   5.  Transylvanian Hungarians, between liberalism and neoliberalism
   6.  The rise of an illiberal counter-hegemony? The case of AUR and the sovereigntist movement
   7.  Representing the working class under progressive-neoliberal hegemony
   8.  Performances of self-description and the aesthetic production of neoliberal hegemony
