Abstract

In the article, the key challenges are analyzed, which Republic of Moldova has been facing since gaining independence. The main accent is put on such factors as formation of political identity, socioeconomic development, geopolitical status of the country, shaping of sustainable political institutions. The author provisionally identifies two periods of Moldova’s sociopolitical development - the 1990s and the 2000-2010s. It is argued that the key differences in the country’s development during both periods can be explained by the evolution of Moldova’s political system, which is moving towards greater centralization, and by the change of the country’s geopolitical status, which makes the classical post-Soviet “seesaw politics” now impossible for Moldova.
