Throughout the 19th and the 20th century the modernization process chat Romania has undergone has revolved around two major poles, the Western pattern of development, and the Soviet one chat has been enforced at the end of the Second World War. The regime change experienced after 1945 has shown however chat the new leaders needed to rely on some of the existing administrative, technical and scientific cadres in order co implement the new political, social and cultural programme. The careers of Alexandru Roşca and Mihai Beniuc, two psychologists chat have been trained in Western Universities and worked at the Institute of Psychology in Cluj, followed the same path chat the country was on. Having manifested clear left-wing sympathies during the interwar period, they have managed to maintain their professional status and even gained access to imponant political positions ; therefore, they have contributed to the implementation of two consecutive modernization projects.
