The participation of the European Union in the settlement of the Transnistrian conflict created favorable conditions for the implementation of the concept of "involvement without recognition" of the Transnistrian region in the legal field of the Republic of Moldova. The effectiveness of this approach largely depended on the effective functioning of the EU as an intermediary and the tools used to solve this problem. The purpose of the work is to consider the influence of the "post-military" stage on the effectiveness of the implementation of the mediation activities of the European Union, as well as to analyze the strategy of "Europeanization" from the point of view of rational choice theory, which affects the change in the behavior of the conflicting parties in the context of the settlement of the Transnistrian conflict.

In the modern world, the total number of international and internal conflicts not only does not decrease - but continues to grow, new forms of them (ethno-political, religious) are emerging that are little subject to the stabilizing effect of traditional instruments of diplomacy. Regional conflicts are coming to the fore, characterized by high intensity, widespread use of means of direct armed aggression and the ability to draw neighboring regions into their sphere. A separate type of regional conflicts are unresolved, or as they are also commonly called, "protracted" conflicts in the post-Soviet space continue to be the focus of many researchers. The situation in Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh are "classic" examples that have not been resolved for more than three decades. The purpose of the work is to identify the influence of non-power tools on the post-military stage of the development of the Transnistrian conflict based on the concept of "Human security".

European integration includes concrete directives of action to be taken into account by all states. One of the most important of them might be considered the social partnership in the labour field. Under current circumstances, the need to study relations established within social partnership, factors contributing to social dialogue development and fulfillment of social partnership potential within existing political and socio-economic reforms increased. Analysis of European dimension of Moldovan social partnership evolution is essential for further democratization of labour field and European perspectives of the country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
