  • I INTRODUCTION Moldavia, the Smallest Republic in the Soviet Union, Has Been a Territorial Football Between Romania and Russia
    INTRODUCTION Moldavia, the smallest republic in the Soviet Union, has been a territorial football between Romania and Russia for well over 100 years. Like the Baltic republics, it fell within the Soviet sphere of influence under the l939 Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, and there is reason to believe that some Moldavians may now wish to follow the lead of the Baltic republics in pressing for secession from the USSR. The 64 percent of the republic's population that is ethnic Moldavian has its cultural heart in Romania and, at the very least, seeks freer contacts with Romanians across their common frontier. In the past 18 months Moldavian political and social life has been transformed. Fledgling independent groups have developed into major new political movements, such as the Moldavian Popular Front with a membership of between 700,000 and one million. Other independent groups include the Alexe Mateevici Club which led the successful drive to establish Moldavian as the official language of the republic, the Moldavian Democratic Movement aimed at establishing a state that adheres to the rule of law, the Moldavian Green Movement which works to increase public awareness of ecological issues, and others. Groups of citizens in late l988 began braving the wrath of the local authorities by organizing small public protests. By March l989 the rallies had grown to include as many as 80,000 demonstrators who were calling, among other things, for the i removal of Moldavia's Party leaders. Both the protestors and the Moldavian government often turned to violence. The most egregious such instances of reciprocal violence occurred in l989 on February 12 and 26, March 12 and November 7.

To my committee chair, Benjamin B. Smith, I express my sincere appreciation for his encouragement and guidance. Ben not only taught me to systematically research political phenomena, but also the importance of pursuing a complete and parsimonious explanation. Throughout my doctoral studies Ben remained dedicated to me and my research, and with his incredible patience he tolerated and motivated my winding intellectual path. I thank my committee co-chair, Michael Bernhard, for his hours spent reading early manuscript drafts, support in pursuing a multi-country project, and detailed attention to clear writing. Michael’s appreciation of my dissertation vision and capacity gave this research project its legs. Ben and Michael provided me exceptionally valuable advice. I am also indebted to the help provided by my other committee members – Conor O’Dwyer, Ingrid Kleespies and Beth Rosenson – who inspired creativity and scientific rigor, always provided thoughtful and useful comments, and kept me searching for the big picture. Among institutions, I wish to gratefully acknowledge the support of the Center of European Studies at the University of Florida, IIE Fulbright Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, IREX, the American Councils, and the Department of Political Science at the University of Florida.

  • Moldova Under Lucinschi
    Moldova under Lucinschi PAUL D. QUINLAN uring the Soviet period Moldova was commonly referred to as "sunny D Moldova." Unfortunately, today the country's economic situation is anything but sunny. Moldova has the ignominious distinction of being one of the three poorest states in Europe. Since declaring independence in 1991 , Moldova has had the largest fall in gross domestic product and living standard of any former social- ist state in Europe. The GDP is a mere 30 percent of what it was in 1990. The average monthly nominal wage was a pitiful 405 le¡ (singular leu), or U.S.$32, as of the middle of 2000 . Moldova also has been plagued by myriad political problems as it struggles to make the transition from communism to democracy and a market economy. Although politically the country has made significant progress in establishing functioning democratic institutions , other problems, especially its dire economic situation, are taking their toll on its young democrat- ic political system and have raised concern about Moldova 's existence as an inde- pendent state . In this article , 1 take a brief look at the overwhelming economic, political, and other problems that Moldova faced from the parliamentary elections of March 1998 to those of February 2001, in an effort to understand why Moldo- va has now turned back to the Communist Party for leadership. The March 1998 Parliamentary Elections and the Second Ciubuc Government President Petru Lucinschi's chances of carrying out important reforms were hin- dered from the start by the scheduling of parliamentary elections for early 1998. This also relegated Prime Minister Ion Ciubuc's cabinet to a caretaker role.

The concept of Republic of Moldova’s neutrality in the context of NATO’s eastward extension Besides the fact that the dislocation of foreign military troops on the territory of the Republic of Moldova is inadmissible, the Constitution sets no other rules for being neutral. The dictionary of international public law (Bucharest, 1982) defines “permanent neutrality” as the position of the states that, through official documents, determined by their internal legislation (ex. Switzerland) or the decision of international conferences (Switzerland, 1815, Belgium, 1831 and 1937, Luxemburg, 1867 etc.) assumed the responsibility to never participate in a war (…). Besides the fact that they are committed to not participating in a war, states that are permanently neutral are committed not to sign, during peace times, documents that in case of an armed conflict could involve them in the war.

Military Review December-February 1995 under the title: Ethnic Conflict in the Transdniester Daily you hear or read about armed conflicts occurring or new hostilitiesz breaking out in areas of the former Soviet Union. Soviet newspapers and television carry regular reports of these conflicts. One of those regularly interviewed is Lieutenant General Alexandr Lebed, the commander of the Russian 14th Army in Moldova 1 and an outspoken advocate of decisive action to support Russian interests in that region. The failed Soviet Empire is a region of diverse nationalities possessing different backgrounds, religions, customs and traditions, which has been pulled apart by complex inter-ethnic disputes. Lebed and his Army are symptomatic of this problem. Although introduction of democratic institutions, thoughts and practices has produced some positive changes, in fact, the very pace of this reform, in some measure, has contributed to turmoil and strife that threatens the stability of this huge and critically important region. One aspect of this complex problem is the resolution of border conflicts among the new states created when the former Soviet Union dissolved.
