STRATEGIILE DE POLITICĂ EXTERNĂ A REPUBLICII MOLDOVA ÎN CONTEXTUL NOILOR AMENINȚĂRI DE SECURITATE REGIONALĂ

Abstract

Foreign policy is exercised by the central authorities of the state and their representatives. The decisions taken in the framework of foreign policy are considered to be the most important instruments available to a state in achieving the national interest. This article aims to investigate the main existing strategies of the Republic of Moldova emerging from the country’s foreign policy, but also from the national interest established by the existing legal framework. In its European course, but also in the context of the Ukrainian war, we nevertheless observe that a series of strategies used in the past have proven to be outdated or less effective. That is why the author presents at the end of this article possible strategies that our country could adopt in collaboration with external actors to face the new regional challenges, but also to fulfill the European standards that our country has undertaken to respect once it became a candidate country for the EU.
