National Security of the Republic of Moldova in the Context of European Integration Process
National Security of the Republic of Moldova in the Context of European Integration Process

Summary/Abstract: To ensure national security in all fields of state activity is one of the imperatives of its existence as a sovereign and independent subject in relation to other states in world politics. The consolidation of the process of regionalisation and globalisation implies not only socio-economic fields, in which states are likely to concede in their national prerogatives in the common interest, but security and defence domains considered as a stronghold of the sovereign state as well. In this context, the Republic of Moldova gets many opportunities, but at the same time runs the risks with its inclusion in the community security scheme. Advantages and disadvantages of this process are to be studied, determining the legislative and structural-functional actions both internally and externally, which are needed to be carried out for plenary inclusion in the complex of European security. The European Union through Community policies assists and supports neighbouring states in strengthening of their own security capabilities, but also calls for transforming the country from a consumer of continental security into an exporter of stability and security in the region. The importance of this study also derives from the fact that the fields of security and defence are minimised in the Moldova-EU dialogue. Political ties and the socio-economic relations between the parties determine interconnectedness and interdependence of national and community security. Mutual interest of ensuring security should be used by the Republic of Moldova through active participation in European programmes and projects intended to strengthen national and, therefore, regional security system. In this context, the European Community is coming up with a proposal to Reform the Security Sector (RSS).
