It is embeddedness that helps to overcome the challenges of transformation and pushes countries beyond mere frontiers of democracy towards becoming strongly committed democratic communities. The goal of this project is to facilitate embedding democratic values in the societal ethos, and thus to contribute to future successful consolidation in Moldova and Ukraine]]> 03.10.2016 09:13 Corneiul Ciurea: Confidence-Building in Moldova: Domestic and External Security Challenges.

It is a sign of how dire things are today, says Iulian Fota, a Romanian analyst, that people are talking about doing so again. Ever since 2014, when the embezzlement of about $1 billion from three banks forced a taxpayer bail-out that has crippled the economy, the country has been lurching towards collapse. Opposition supporters are permanently encamped in front of the government building. Maia Sandu, a former education minister who is rushing to build a new party, says the situation could lead to violence.

Moreover, past five year have shown that even the Eastern Partnership is not a monolithic group of countries, on the contrary, its members have different level of ambitions when it comes to the scope and depth of their domestic reforms and their relationships with the EU. Therefore, Moldova is pledging strongly for a deeper differentiation including between the Eastern Partnership countries. In its view, the countries that have the will and determination to develop political association and economic integration relations with the EU, through implementing far-reaching democratic and economic reforms, should enjoy a clear cut European membership perspective.]]> 25.05.2015 00:00 Victoria Bucataru, “Moldova still at the crossroads: Is the European path irreversible?” http://old.ape.md/libview.php?l=en&idc=156&id=2246 “Moldova still at the crossroads: Is the European path irreversible?” in The Di fferent Faces of "Soft Power": The Baltic States and Eastern Neighborhood between Russia and the EU/ Ed. by Toms Rostoks and Andris Spruds. – Riga: Latvian Institute of International Affairs, 2015. – 256 p., http://www.liia.lv/site/docs/LIIA_soft_power_book_web_layout.pdf]]> 18.05.2015 00:00 Trends of the Eastern Partnership before Riga, Survey on Post-Vilnius Eastern Partnership, Visegrad Fund project, Brussels, 17.04.2015. http://old.ape.md/libview.php?l=en&idc=150&id=2222 Association for International Affairs organized a public presentation of the final results of its unique research project focused on the Eastern Partnership Initiative at the Permanent Representation of the Czech Republic to the EU in Brussels on April 14.

APE/NED. http://old.ape.md/libview.php?l=en&idc=152&id=2214 Unlike Republic of Moldova, Ukraine never anchored the principle of neutrality in its Constitution, although it announced this intention in the 1990 Declaration of Independence. Ukraine’s experience in terms of neutrality is only limited to the period of 2010-2014, when Kiev passed a law regarding Ukraine’s non-adherence to military blocs – so called non-bloc status. After repealing of this law, Ukraine comes back to the idea of adherence to NATO, even though there is hardly any possibility for this idea to become reality in the near future, due to the war in the region. Observing Kiev’s fluctuations between a country with a neutrality status and the desire to come under the Western security umbrella, the Chisinau Government could draw some conclusions related to the functionality of the neutrality principle enshrined in Article 11 of the Constitution.]]> 30.03.2015 13:18 Corneliu Ciurea: Comparative analysis of options for assurance of national security of the Republic of Moldova in the Context of Russian aggression in Ukraine. APE/FEE. http://old.ape.md/libview.php?l=en&idc=156&id=2210 In this paper we will debate the main trends that revolve around this major cleavage - neutrality versus accession to NATO- in terms of the consequences of the Ukrainian crisis on Moldova. In our opinion, in this situation the idea of neutrality increasingly loses its sense. Moreover, the disappearance of previously accepted rules turns the neutrality into an almost hollow concept. However, the paradox of security insurance makes, despite continued erosion of its contents, neutralityto remain an indispensable concept from the view of necessity to reduce the risks. Any guidance in other direction, would lead to an unjustified increase of risks and threats for the Republic of Moldova.]]> 25.03.2015 08:49 APE Activity Report - 2014 http://old.ape.md/libview.php?l=en&idc=274&id=2203 25.02.2015 15:57 APE Financial Report 2014 http://old.ape.md/libview.php?l=en&idc=274&id=2202 25.02.2015 00:00 EU budget support to Eastern Partnership Countries: Cases of Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine.
