| Summary: | The landscape of Geography within Romanian Higher
Education might be at a crossroad. This is due to the over-focus on
scientometric evaluations and the lack of tradition coupled to
international research. In this context, we aim to highlight the role of
Romanian geographers in the decline of their societal relevance, which
is partly driven by an erosion of their internal identity. We identify the
key factors contributing to Geography's marginalization within the
Romanian academic framework and societal interests. Our analysis
reveals a fragmentation of Geography as a discipline and scientific field,
driven by centrifugal forces and a neglect of its foundational practices as
parts of political influences. |
