    THE IDENTITY APPROACH TO SOCIAL COHESION AS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF NATIONAL INTEREST
    (CEP USM, 2024) Bevziuc, Victoria; Vintilă, Pavel
    National interest is the direction of domestic and foreign policies of a state. It is measured by the level of security and well-being of the state and its citizens, and in democratic states, it is indicated by the requirements of all stakeholders of national interest. The formation of a national interest follows the following scheme: Interest > Necessity > Awareness > Action. At present, the Republic of Moldova is between the necessity and awareness of national interest, as society is highly divided and there is no primary national interest with a general consensus. Even statehood or sovereignty are not a national interest with absolute support. This paper demonstrates the dynamics of national interest and the necessity of addressing the identity issue for social cohesion and achieving broad consensus regarding the national interest of the Republic of Moldova

    SECURITATE REGIONALĂ ACTUALĂ ȘI PERSPECTIVELE DE VIITOR PRIVIND ARHITECTURA DE SECURITATE EUROPEANĂ
    (Editura USM, 2024) Vintilă, Pavel; Putină, Natalia
    Europe is currently undergoing a significant change in the realm of security, with a focus on regional security due to the lack of global security mechanisms. European agreements with Russia for maintaining peace and security on the continent are no longer functional, and Russian aggression towards Ukraine has forced European states to come together in various initiatives to strengthen their regional defense against potential Russian aggression. As a result, agreements in which Russia participated are no longer valid, and the new security architecture is being built to defend Europe against Russian revanchism. The current situation has highlighted the importance of regional security for Europe, and countries are increasingly cooperating to establish a stronger defense against potential threats. This new architecture of security includes the development of military capabilities, the strengthening of existing defense structures, and the establishment of new defense partnerships. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine serves as a reminder to European states of the potential threats they face and the need for a coordinated and effective response.
