Von Bessarabien in die Dobrudscha: zur geschichte einer deutschen Wanderungsbewegungim 19. Jahrhundert [Articol]
(Editura USM, 2026) Sallanz, Josef
The article analyzes the migration of German settlers from Bessarabia and adjacent regions of the Russian Empire to Dobruja in the nineteenth century. It focuses on the causes, dynamics, and spatial structures of this migration, which unfolded in several phases between 1841 and the early 1890s. Drawing on migration history and colonization theory, the study demonstrates that this was a multi-stage, transregional movement shaped by structural constraints, institutional changes, and individual agency.

Youth digital attitude and engagement: a comparative study of the U.S. and Lebanon (2022-2025) [Articol]
(Moldova State University, 2026) Merhe, Céline; Rodriguez, Bismarck Enrique; Raad, Jana; Hamoud, Mahmoud
This study explores the impact of presidential mandates on youth attitudes towards governance and online civic engagement in the United States and Lebanon—two democracies facing different challenges. The Israeli-Hezbollah war in 2024, alongside Lebanon’s presidential vacancy from October 2022 to January 2025, deepened the institutional gridlock and public distrust. The election of former Chief of Army General Joseph Aoun marked a turning point for narratives of sovereignty and youth responsibility in the public sphere. In contrast, Donald Trump’s 2025 reelection as US president reignited the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) agenda, intensifying polarization and altering the digital civic sphere. The main objective of our study is to gauge the impact on young people’s views toward governance and their involvement in online civic speech in both countries. This study uses a mixed-methods approach, with a cross-national survey to measure youth trust and an archival analysis of youth-initiated digital campaigns on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. It investigates the correlation between these mandates and shifting youth attitudes within both countries’ contexts of institutional crisis. By comparing a case of governance breakdown and rebirth with one of democratic erosion and populist revival, this research highlights the multifaceted relationship between presidential leadership, youth resilience, and how digital platforms foster civic engagement during upheaval.
The evolving architecture of economic policy coordination in the European Union [Articol]
(Moldova State University, 2026) Kupczyk, Radoslaw
This paper analyses the evolution of economic policy coordination in the European Union (EU), tracing its development from the rules-based framework of the Maastricht Treaty to the crisis-driven innovations of the 21st century. It argues that the EU’s economic governance architecture is not the product of a grand design but rather a pathdependent process of institutional adaptation in response to successive crises. The paper first examines the theoretical underpinnings of policy coordination in a monetary union, highlighting the challenges posed by the Eurozone’s status as a non-optimal currency area. It then charts the history of the coordination framework, beginning with the original Stability and Growth Pact (SGP), whose rigidities and enforcement weaknesses were starkly exposed by the sovereign debt crisis. The analysis proceeds to dissect the complex tapestry of post-crisis governance reforms-including the Six-Pack, Two-Pack, Fiscal Compact, and the European Semester—which significantly deepened surveillance but also increased complexity and raised questions of democratic legitimacy. Finally, the paper assesses the paradigm shift represented by the Next Generation EU (NGEU) recovery instrument, a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. NGEU introduced common debt issuance and investment-focused conditionality, moving away from the austerity-driven logic of the previous crisis. The paper concludes that while the EU’s coordination framework has become more resilient, it remains fraught with fundamental tensions between rules and discretion, supranationalism and intergovernmentalism, and solidarity and responsibility. Resolving these tensions is the central challenge for the future of the Economic and Monetary Union.
Energy transition as a catalyst for sdgs: lesson from german’s renewable shift for european security and sustainability [Articol]
(Moldova State University, 2026) Kubis, Liliana
The global pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – particularly SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action) – has gained urgency amid geopolitical conflicts and energy market disruptions. This paper investigates how Germany’s accelerated renewable energy transition (Energiewende) serves as a strategic model for achieving energy security while advancing broader sustainability objectives in Europe. The study focuses on german die Ampelkoalition’s tenure (SPD-Greens-FDP coalition), analysing their policy frameworks, technological investments, and socio-economic outcomes in driving the energy transition. Key initiatives include renewable energy reforms, measures to accelerate wind and solar expansion and innovative approaches to balancing energy security with climate goals during the energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The paper examines both achievements and challenges faced by the coalition, including tensions between rapid decarbonization goals and energy affordability concerns. Special attention is given to the interplay between renewable energy expansion, industrial decarbonization, and social equity – factors critical for a just transition. The findings contribute to ongoing debates on sustainable development by demonstrating how national energy transitions under specific political configurations can simultaneously enhance security, reduce emissions, and foster innovation – ultimately supporting the integrated implementation of the SDGs in a geopolitically uncertain world. The German case under die Ampelkoalition’s offers particularly relevant insights for European countries navigating similar sustainability and security challenges.
