Globalization Controversies as an Analytical Platform for Identifying the Degree of Connection of Republic of Moldova to the Globalization Process

Abstract

The article presents the format of a study that evaluates the dimension of engagement of a state (in the given case, the Republic of Moldova) to the global system, observing a series of quantitative indicators of interconnection. These indicators create data research premises to generate discussions about how to connect to all that global flows and networks mean. In other words, we are discussing the degree of advancement in this approach to the globalization of human activities in order to create visions, try predictions, follow routes to unblock possible processes of stagnation. The interconnection to global processes also highlights possible discussions on the role that the state assumes in this situation to create a radius of influence for its benefit. Neglecting this aspect implies not understanding the opportunities and threats to which we are exposed. DOI: https://doi.org/10.53486/dri2023.09; UDC: 339.94(478); JEL: F5, F6
