The risks to the security of the Republic of Moldova and foreign policy strategies in the current conditions
(CEP USM, 2024) Budurina-Goreacii, Carolina
The Republic of Moldova is located in Southeast Europe, and its geographical position as well as its ethnic diversity pose serious threats to this small multinational country, which had to face complex geopolitical challenges after the collapse of the communist regime. In addition, the ,,multi-faceted” foreign policy, constantly oscillating between West and East, was often characterized as ,,ambiguous, inconsistent and dual”. Therefore, it has failed to manage political imbalances over time. At the same time, the phenomenon of integration of the Republic of Moldova into the European Union has historically been associated with the fluctuating political regime of the country. At the current stage, the new international geopolitical context causes the Republic of Moldova to revise its foreign policy strategies. Also, it is forced to face the social, economic and political risks that can affect the national security of the state and the general well-being of the citizens, as well as to take the necessary measures to keep the situation under control.
