    Hello Dr. Hall,I am a MA Student at University of NB, Canada, and I am reading and reviewing your article Theories of Collective Action and Revolution: Evidence from the Romanian Transition of December 1989, published in Europe-Asia Studies journal. I know that you wrote much more on the topic of the Romanian Revolution of 1989, but looking back at this article do you think that is still valid today? Would you write the same conclusions today? I dare to say that some of your assumptions or statements were, at that time, too emphatic:”virtually none of the Romanian language material used in the preparation of this article has been previously cited in the West.”(p.1070). You cite a lot of newspapers iterviews and newspapers’ account of events, D.Deletant’s works on Securitate,and but you don’t have any archival resources. The majority of the newspapers are dated 1991 to 1992. Did you conduct your research then? Was it impossible to access archives? No memoirs or archival documents from all the revolutionaries’ associations? Thank you, Darie.

    Soryy for postint his in other locations, but it took a while to figure out this site. Thanks.
