PI and Co-PI: Christine Harrington, Mihaela SerbanTitle: Doctoral Dissertation Research: Surviving Property: Property Ideologies and Rights Consciousness in Communism and Post-Communism (Romania, 1944-2006)#0752404Project AbstractThis project investigates the extent to which past property regimes affect beliefs and everyday consciousness about law. In particular, the project examines how law mattered under communism, and explores the consequences for post-communism, focusing on houses that were nationalized and expropriated by the communist regime in the city of Timisoara, Romania. The research will concentrate on the coherence and consistency of the communist state's efforts to eradicate private property; the impact of these efforts on property ideologies and rights consciousness; and the consequences for the post-communist transition. The study will employ a combination of ethnographic methods, primarily document and archival research: laws, implementation policies and judicial decisions on nationalization, expropriation and post-1989 restitution; court observation at the Timis Tribunal; and interviews with former owners, socialist tenants, lawyers and state officials. Data analysis methods include legal analysis, discourse analysis, narrative analysis, and life histories. This interdisciplinary study contributes to socio-legal knowledge by clarifying the extent to which political structures determine legal culture in a non-democratic regime, and exploring the implications for the succeeding democratic regime. The study will also produce findings about the operation and effects of law in everyday life under communism, and explore continuities and discontinuities with the post-communist period. The broader impacts include offering a better understanding of the opportunities and challenges of current transitions from communism in the field of politics and property (e.g. China and Cuba). The research will broaden the sociolegal field in the United States by focusing on the impact of law in an authoritarian regime, in an underrepresented region and country. It will contribute to strengthening the links between American and Eastern European scholars through discussions of goals and methodology, presentation of findings, and translation and dissemination of the results in the United States and Eastern Europe.

PI和Co-PI：克莉丝汀哈灵顿，米哈埃拉塞尔维亚标题：博士论文研究：幸存的财产：财产意识形态和权利意识在共产主义和后共产主义（罗马尼亚，1944-2006）#0752404项目摘要本项目调查在何种程度上过去的财产制度影响信仰和日常意识的法律。 特别是，该项目研究了法律在共产主义下的重要性，并探讨了后共产主义的后果，重点是罗马尼亚蒂米什瓦拉市被共产主义政权国有化和征用的房屋。 研究将集中在共产主义国家的努力，以消除私有财产的连贯性和一致性;这些努力对财产意识形态和权利意识的影响;和后共产主义过渡的后果。 这项研究将采用民族志方法相结合，主要是文件和档案研究：关于国有化、征用和1989年后归还的法律、执行政策和司法决定;在蒂米斯法庭的法庭观察;以及与前业主、社会主义租户、律师和国家官员的访谈。 数据分析方法包括法律的分析、话语分析、叙事分析和生活史。 这种跨学科的研究有助于社会法律的知识，澄清在何种程度上政治结构决定法律的文化在一个非民主政权，并探讨对继任的民主政权的影响。 这项研究还将产生有关法律在共产主义下的日常生活中的运作和影响的调查结果，并探讨与后共产主义时期的连续性和不连续性。 更广泛的影响包括更好地理解当前在政治和财产领域从共产主义过渡的机遇和挑战（例如中国和古巴）。 这项研究将扩大美国的社会法律领域，重点关注法律在专制政权中的影响，在代表性不足的地区和国家。 它将通过讨论目标和方法、介绍调查结果以及将结果翻译和在美国和东欧传播，促进加强美国和东欧学者之间的联系。
