Abstract
Articolul oferă o analiză detaliată a parcursului Republicii Moldova către integrarea europeană, subliniind contextul istoric și politic al acestei traiectorii. După o lungă perioadă de oscilație între influențele estice și vestice, țara a demonstrat angajamente clare în favoarea valorilor democratice, prin aderarea la Consiliul Europei și ratificarea CEDO. Extinderile succesive ale UE și integrarea României au avut un impact major asupra societății moldovenești, stimulând mobilitatea și apropierea de Occident. Acordul de Asociere din 2014 a impulsionat reforme juridice și economice, în ciuda contextului marcat de corupție și crize politice. Statutul de țară candidată la UE, acordat în iunie 2022, confirmă direcția geopolitică asumată, dar nu garantează automat aderarea. Procesul de negociere este complex, cuprinzând 35 de capitole repartizate în 6 clustere tematice, ce necesită alinierea legislației interne la acquis-ul comunitar. Referendumul constituțional din 2024 și mobilizarea cetățenilor confirmă sprijinul crescut pentru parcursul european. Articolul conchide că integrarea în UE este un proces anevoios, dar vital pentru securitatea, prosperitatea și consolidarea statului de drept în Republica Moldova. Articolul este elaborat în cadrul implementării proiectului Jean Monnet Chair „EU’s role in the emerging international system” (EUREIS), nr. 101126798
This article offers an indepth analysis of the Republic of Moldova’s path toward European integration, emphasizing the historical and political context. After decades of fluctuating between Eastern and Western influence, Moldova has taken clear steps toward democratic values by joining the Council of Europe and ratifying the ECHR. The successive enlargements of the EU and Romania’s accession significantly impacted Moldovan society, increasing mobility and fostering pro-European sentiment. The 2014 Association Agreement initiated legal and economic reforms, despite a background of corruption and political instability. The EU candidate status, granted in June 2022, confirms Moldova’s chosen geopolitical direction but does not guarantee accession. The negotiation process involves 35 chapters across 6 thematic clusters, requiring comprehensive alignment with the EU acquis. The 2024 constitutional referendum and growing civic mobilization reflect increasing public support for EU membership. The article concludes that while Moldova’s accession to the European Union will be a challenging and lengthy endeavor, it remains essential for ensuring long- term prosperity, democratic resilience, and rule of law. With strong political will and societal commitment, this process can solidify Moldova’s place within the European family. The article has been prepared within the framework of the implementation of the Jean Monnet Chair project “EU’s Role in the Emerging International System” (EUREIS), No. 101126798.
