Simion Mehedinti and the Romanian Geopolitics
We have the privilege and pleasure of inviting the Romanian readers of The Market for Ideas, Saturday, February 23, 2019, 13:30, at Romexpo, Pavilion B2, Stand 261, to a brief meeting with the name of the visionary geographer and geo-political scientist Simion Mehedinţi, the one who:
• wrote about the “United States of Europe” as early as 1909, using systematically this syntagm in several studies and conferences, four decades before the European Coal and Steel Community, the future European Union, was born;
• wrote about the “corporate state” as early as 1920, long before the phenomenon of globalization penetrated the Romanian space;
• wrote about the “international aviation for world peacekeeping” as early as 1927 (in the famous work “Le pays et le peuple roumain”), anticipating NATO, which will be born two decades later.
