Scandals and Party Moots: Mass Protests During the Ceausescu Regime in Romania by Adriana Mica (Hardback, 2012)

This book is an attempt to investigate the mechanisms governing the evolution of scandals over mass protests in communist Romania. It could also be framed as a study of the social-psychology of regime preservation. The main inquiry presented herein deals with the manner in which Romanian communist authorities framed acts of mass protest. The author investigates the shaming practices and the ritualization of the party moots on mass protests which followed the outburst of such like scandals. The book puts forth a hypothesis, that the dynamics of these processes are determined by the unfolding and outcome of three phemena: the attribution of fault, the admittance of guilt/fault and - to a certain extent - the moot bullying.
