Abstract
- The euphoria felt by both domestic and foreign liberal audiences following the vic­tory of a pro-reform party in Moldova is now receding. The new Moldovan leadership has stumbled in fulfilling its main electoral promise, namely to fight corruption by effectively reforming the justice system. There is a growing realisation that justice reform initiated and conducted with Western support over the last decade, and based on the implementation of existing best practices, might not be the most effec­tive approach considering Moldova's conditions. With corrupt courts and a public pros­ecutor office that is still connected to former kleptocrats, Moldova is a model weak state. A more suitable approach to justice reform would be to first establish pre­requisites that would lead to the impartiality of the legal system before granting it politi­cal independence. This may also prove a more suitable model of justice reform for other Eastern Partnership countries undermined by strongmen and tycoons. (author's abstract)
