Is Moldova Ready to Grow? Assessment of Post-crisis Policies (1999-2000)
No full textThe efforts to stabilize the Moldovan economy after the crisis of 1998 have been largely successful. The country avoided international default as current account position radically improved, cooperation with international financial institutions was re-established and a significant primary fiscal surplus was achieved. As a result, the exchange rate was stabilised and inflation substantially reduced. Moreover, several important structural reforms were implemented and privatisation of key-industries pursued with much more determination than previously. However, only economic growth would bring real solutions to the persistent problems of external and internal imbalances of the Moldovan economy and would allow the country to face its heavy debt burden in the future. Unfortunately, prospects for sustainable growth remain weak, as the most important issues that constrain private entrepreneurship and investments have not been effectively tackled. These issues include: lack of territorial integrity, ineffective legal system, widespread corruption and rent seeking. It is unlikely that these problems can be solved until the Moldovan parliament assumes full ownership of reform process.Moldova, post-crisis
Illegal Moldovan migration to the european union
No full textThis article analyzes the illegal migration from Moldova into the EU countries. The main routes to the EU countries are through Romania, Ukraine, Turkey and other countries. Each route has its own specific features, such as transport availability, visa / visa free regimes, etc. The author researches illegal Moldovan migration patterns (“green zone” passage, fake ID passage, breaking of labour and residential laws of the receiving country, etc.). Much attention is also attributed to researching the activity of national actors and their cooperation, as well as organization and realization of illegal labour migration. An attempt to determine the scale and trends of illegal Moldovan labour migration is made, based on statistical data. The author also unravels the Moldovan counter-illegal migration policy.Consortium for Applied Research on International Migration (CARIM-East) is co-financed by the European University Institute and the European Unio
Children’s Album for Piano in the Works of MoldOvan Composers
No full textThe author of the article examines piano works dedicated to children written by Moldovan composers from the point of view of their use in the piano educational practice as children’s cycles (albums and suites consisting of piano miniatures). For many Moldovan composers (L. Gurov, S. Lobel, V. Rotaru, Z. Tkach, A. Mulyar, B. Dubossarsky, O. Negrutsa, G. Ciobanu, etc.) the work on piano miniatures was a kind of «creative laboratory» that preceded the appearance of larger works — suites, sonatas, concertos, symphonies, etc.
The priorities in the children’s piano works of Moldovan authors are contrasting in style: slow lyrical pieces (Lullaby, Doina, Prelude, Song, Poem, etc.) and mobile miniatures (Jock, Batuta, Ostinato, Comic, Scherzo, etc.) with dance or scherzo-humor character. These plays can greatly enrich the repertoire of children’s music schools and lyceums, as they are distinguished by Moldovan color, national and genre properties, peculiarity of the figurative-emotional system and the certainty of technical tasks

Moldova's European Choice: ‘Between Two Stools’?
No full textThe article examines EU–Moldovan relations from the perspective of the external governance framework. It reveals some considerable progress in the procedural engagement of both parties. However, the internal instability experienced by Moldova in 2009 is seen to have disrupted these relations, stalling further negotiations and even questioning Moldova's true commitment to Europe. To understand this ostensibly sudden change in Moldova's allegiance to Europe, it is argued that analysis needs to go beyond conventional governance framework(s). Premised on the notion of ‘constitutive boundaries’ a ‘partnership’ perspective offers a more nuanced understanding of the boundaries of ‘the other’, thus revealing the salience of geopolitics and culture in Moldova's relations with the outside world
DYNAMICS AND SPECIFICS OF CZECH-MOLDOVAN RELATIONS IN 1993–2021
No full textThe article analyzes the dynamics of Czech-Moldovan relations in the period from 1993
to 2021. The general chronological analysis is put into the context of regional trends in Central Europe and Eastern Europe, as well as the distinctive features of the Czech Republic’s foreign policy
and their changes over time. The article is divided into three parts corresponding to the phases of
the Czech-Moldovan political interaction: passivity in the 1990s, sharp activation in the period
2004–2014 and stagnation in the second half of the 2010s. The article pays special attention to the
humanitarian aspects of political interaction, which became the key area of cooperation in the
analyzed period. The author considers the influence of various factors on the changing nature of
interaction, identifies general trends that illustrate the specifics of Czech-Moldovan relations
School-based sexuality education in the former Soviet Union: Moldova's approach and how it compares to Estonia's international model
No full textMoldova and Estonia are two countries in close geographic proximity with historically similar pasts, yet drastically different youth sexual and reproductive health outcomes. While Estonia has managed to forge an internationally-praised school-based sexuality education program, effectively promote safe sexual behaviors, and reduce unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, and HIV among young people, Moldova’s attempts have been largely unsuccessful. Although school-based sexuality education in Moldovan primary and secondary schools is considered a mandatory subject by law, it remains primarily optional in practice and reaches only a small fraction of school-aged children. In addition, the Moldovan sexuality education program is fraught with a myriad of logistical inadequacies related to curriculum content, teacher training, and monitoring and evaluation, among others. Given the well-evidenced successes of the program in Estonia and the characteristics the country shares with Moldova, it presents an exemplary model for identifying necessary revisions to the Moldovan sexuality education program as a mechanism for ameliorating sexual and reproductive health outcomes among youth. In essence, this thesis provides a timely assessment of school-based sexuality education in these two countries and offers corresponding recommendations for the reform and improvement of the program in Moldova
Approaching the Rural Abandonment in Twentieth Century Romania: Political Decisions, Strategies, and Intervention Projects
No full textThe paper is centred on two case studies in Romania (Dioști, Dolj county and Antonești, Argeș county). Besides the fact that both are representative of the current rural depopulation trend in Romania, the two case studies have a particular relevance due to their initial role as “model villages”, created during the interwar period, as part of the initiative of (re)organizing the rural national territory. The design and construction of both villages during 1938-1944 was a direct response to the destruction caused by devastating calamities in two rural areas. Their reconstruction was viewed as an opportunity to put into practice the already drafted theoretical ideas concerning the “model village,” based on extensive sociological research and on the interest and perspective of interwar sociologists on the ideal restructuring of the Romanian rural realm. The reorganization of the rural territories represented a constant issue for the (Romanian) intellectuals and professionals and the peasant was a substantial element of the identitarian construct of the modern Romanian nation. This idea reflects in the considerable amount of works (researches and studies, theories and operational instruments) issued during the interwar time. Romania faced a radical political turn after the Second World Word, becoming a country positioned on the road toward communism. Industrialization and urbanization seem to represent the great narrative from this point of view, although there is a significantly consistent body of works (designing typologies included) demonstrating the interest in the systematization and reorganization of the rural territories during communism. A three layered perspective over the common interest for the rural world in order to better place in this larger context the relevance of the two case studies and to identify the reasons that forged these initiatives is here proposed. The three layered perspective takes into account a technical approach placed in the aftermath of the agrarian reforms and finding solutions for the consequences of the changes in the land ownership, the previsions for the future of the national territory (in terms of economical development) and the idealist point of view that connects the fundamental elements of the identitarian construct. Still, in the contemporary context dominated by the depopulation trend, the reference to the two case studies seems to be magnetized by their idealized force connected to the modern myths present in the imaginary of Romanian culture. Our interest is to understand What should be the perspective on the two case studies (models for the idealization of the rural world) in the context of rural depopulation (Romanian realities)
