BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS WITH MOLDOVA’S NEIGHBOURS AND STRATEGIC INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2005, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
The article reviews the state of regional security affairs from the perspective of the Republic of Moldova relations with its neighbours and strategic international players: UN, EU, OSCE, NATO, GUAM, USA, Russia, Ukraine and Romania. Within this research, the author’s objective is to identify the favourable and discouraging factors in the process of the assertion of the Republic of Moldova on the international arena.The author does not present only from historical and narrative point of view the relations of the Republic of Moldova with the most important international and regional players. The comparative and behaviouristic analysis of the Chisinau Government's actions in the field of foreign and domestic affairs, offers a new perspective on the past, present and future evolution of the Republic of Moldova within the post-Cold War geopolitics. By summing-up the main developments during the contemporaneous history of the Republic of Moldova, the author underlines the biggest weaknesses of its foreign and security policy, as well the huge influence played both by the integration and de-fragmentation movements at regional and global level. It’s not surprising therefore that the author characterises the security dilemma of the Republic of Moldova (between East and West) by the interaction between the revenge and reactionary forces, and the nationalistic, pro-European and pro-Atlantic policies. Within this paper, the author made his own conclusions and gives recommendations for further development of the Republic of Moldova’s relationship with the neighbouring states, other main actors and international organizations.
