Moldova: Arena of International Influences brings international perspective to Moldova’s foreign relations since its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Eighteen chapters analyze the policy toward Moldova of selected international actors: Belarus, Bulgaria, China, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the European Union, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the unrecognized breakaway state of Transnistria. For these international actors, Moldova functions as an arena of influences—a sphere of intersecting interests, activities and, occasionally, competition. For the first time, leading experts and practitioners from many of the countries engaged in Moldova are brought together in a common language. The result is a detailed map of the international political landscape in Moldova, a chronicle of the past two decades, and a forecast of the country’s future.
Stereotypes of Moldova as a Russian pawn or an EU protectorate are debunked by a well-known team of authors and insiders, revealing the nuts and bolts of national policies and interests vis-a-vis Chisinau. At last, Moldova: Arena of International Influences is an in-depth study probing beyond generic EU policies for Moldova; an excellent analysis of national policies. -- Wim van Meurs, History Department, Radboud University Nijmegen
This is a unique updated volume, which covers the broad spectrum of bilateral relations between Moldova and eighteen countries, including the US, the United Kingdom, Russia, China, France, Germany, and Italy, set within the foreign policy perspectives of each of these countries towards Chisinau. It is an excellent collection of essays, chock full of useful facts and details, which combines foreign policy diversity with common themes such as the Europeanization of Moldova. -- Robert Weiner, University of Massachusetts, Boston
