Proiectul Romania | Marius Stoian ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3.80/5 (3) Personal, l-am vazut pe Marius Stoian in special in actiune concreta, in eficienta relationarii cu personalitati din mediile culturale, sociale si politice. Aceasta lucrare de eseuri ne arata o miscare a sa, la fel de dinamica si substantiala, in spatiul ideilor. Cu aceasta carte, Proiectul Romania, Marius Stoian se arata a fi si un profesionist al reflectiei. Acad. Thierry de Montbrial, presedintele Institutului Francez de Relatii Internationale, membru Steering Comitee Bilderberg Ca veteran al think-tankurilor internationale, pot confirma ca se resimte acut necesitatea formarii si promovarii unei noi generatii de analisti cu anvergura strategica. Trimiterea oarecum fortata la reuniunile de elita a unor reprezentanti romani doar in baza functiei pe care, pentru moment, o ocupa trezeste nedumerire de cum deschid gura. Ne trebuie oameni care sa fie invitati pentru capacitatea lor dovedita de a participa util la marile dezbateri. Clubul Romania este unul dintre putinele locuri unde se poate produce decantarea fireasca a talentelor nationale. Sergiu Celac, Ambasador Verifica stoc
