Assessing the State of European Integration and Potential for Transatlantic Cooperation in the Post-Soviet Space: The Case of Moldova

The research paper assesses the state of affairs of the trans­at­lantic coope­ration to support trans­for­mation processes in the Republic of Moldova, as a case study for the post-Soviet space. The authors review the course of European integration and reform processes in the Republic of Moldova, since mid-2009, when the then liberal-democratic pro-European and pro-reform coalition replaced the eight years of Communist rule.

The authors map out and analyze the impact of the U.S. and the EU support to trans­for­mation in the Republic of Moldova and argue for a stronger trans­at­lantic coordi­nation of develo­pment support. Finally, the study outlines why the reform processes fell short of expec­ta­tions and formu­lates a set of recom­men­da­tions for overcoming resis­tance against real trans­for­mation in the Republic of Moldova.

The study was prepared in the framework of the German-American Dialogue on the post-Soviet space, which consists of a series of workshops, held in Berlin and Washington, in the period 2016–2017. The project is realized in coope­ration with the German Marshall Fund of the United States, with support of the Trans­at­lantik-Programm of the Federal Republic of Germany funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) through means of the European Recovery Program (ERP). The next workshop of the dialogue will be held in May 2017 in Berlin.
