ABSTRACT
This chapter brings into focus the broad takeaway from the stories developed in the preceding chapters and offers connections between Romania as a case study and relevant scholarship with a focus on other European contexts. My analysis explores the ways in which citizenship as lived experience on the part of veterans, war widows, war orphans, and the general population of Romania became rearticulated in the process of implementing the policies of the veterans’ administration. I situate my findings in relation to what other scholars have had to say about veterans’ legislation and policy implementation elsewhere, including how veterans themselves sought models in places like France, Great Britain, Yugoslavia or Germany.
