The sucession of political regimes after the events of 1848-1849--neo-absolutist (1849-1860), liberal (1860-1867) and Austro-Hungarian dualist (1867-1918)--did not alter the modernizing agenda of the revolution, especially in what concerns the economy. This agenda was gradually and unevenly implemented, generating a dominantly agrarian society on the fringes of the imperial and Central-European social-economic structures, in a combination of tradition and modernity, of economic progress and ethnic discrimination and inequality. The dynastic loyalty which had long ensured the cohesion of the empire was overshadowed by emerging nationalisms. After the union between Transylvania and Romania, the province entered a new modernization phase, in the new framework of the Romanian nation state. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
