Claudiu A. Secara graduated in 1972 from the University of Bucharest with an advanced degree in Philosophy and Political Economy. He worked as a journalist in Bucharest for several years, before resigning over the issue of journalistic independence; the next several years he devoted to travel and independent scholarship, teaching, reading and writing.

Later he bailed out of the communist system entirely. He arrived in New York in 1983, and earned a Master's degree in Political Science from New York University in 1986. He then completed a combined doctorate in International Business and Information Systems at Pace University in 1992 and forged a successful consulting career in international business and computer technologies.

Secara departed from his job at the World Trade Center in good time in order to turn again to full-time research and writing. After completing Post-Soviet Euroslavia and the broader work, The New Commonwealth, he began laying the groundwork for Algora Publishing, which he launched in 1992.

Secara combines a Pravda reader's perceptions with a classical education and independent analysis.
