Historia Universitatis Iassiensis 10, 19–34
Abstract. Starting from the failed attempt by Professor Eugen Ehrlich, known today as the founder of the Sociology of Law as a research field and academic subject, to regain after World War I his professorship at the University of Chernivtsi, “re-founded” in 1919 as a Romanian university after the union with the Kingdom of Romania, we examine one of his few studies on political science, written and published in Bucharest in Romanian in the years 1920-1921 – a lucid analysis of the causes that led to the fall of the Habsburg Monarchy.
