About Vladimir Tismaneanu

Vladimir Tismăneanu is a Romanian and American political scientist, sociologist, and professor at the University of Maryland, College Park. A specialist in political systems and compared politics, he is chair of the editorial committee (2004-2008) and editor (1998-2004) of the East European Politics and Societies academic review and director of the University of Maryland’s Center for the Study of Post-Communist Societies. Tismăneanu is a contributor to several periodicals, including Journal of Democracy, Studia Politica, Sfera Politicii, 22 and Cotidianul.

Tismăneanu is renowed for his unique ability to explain communism and his related work to communism, like Stalinism for all seasons and World Order After Leninism.

Tismăneanu’s background and work came under scrutiny, due to his communist relations and youth, after his 2006 appointment by Romanian President Traian Băsescu as head of the Presidential Commission for the Study of the Communist Dictatorship in Romania. There has been much controversy about the conclusions of the report.
