ISSN 1812-25661812-2566https://msuir.usm.md/handle/123456789/2425Feature of the “gray zone” is the consolidation of different types of incomplete democracy.T.Carothers highlights two distinct political syndromes, characteristic for the gray zone: “feckless pluralism” and “dominant-power politics”. The main danger of “feckless pluralism” syndrome is the complexity of getting out of this situation. With certain political freedoms, the alternation in power of different political parties or factions, democracy remains superficial. The fact of “insufficient” democracy in the Republic of Moldova shows that the country instead of genuine democratic reforms is delayed in the syndrome of “feckless pluralism”.rutransformationfeckless pluralismstate capturepolitical partiesdemocratizationтрансформацияполитическая системадемократизацияArticle
