  “This presentation examines competing political-economic forces and
  identity formations dividing and uniting the newly independent, post-Soviet
  country of Moldova, torn apart by separatism. It is based on new field
  research conducted in the Republic of Moldova in spring 2009 (March-June) on
  the relationship between identity formation and political process in and
  between Moldova and its separatist region of Transdnistria. It addresses how
  democratic processes and political transformations articulate with and affect
  the diverging Moldovan-Transdnistrian identity formations discovered during
  my 2005-06 doctoral fieldwork. 

  

  Will burgeoning democratization – just beginning in Transdnistria and
  yet solidifying in right-bank Moldova – bring both warring sides
  together, the study asks? The topic is timely in that it covers
  Moldova’s April and July 2009 parliamentary election. It looks at the
  impact of elections, political crisis and coalition-building on the
  Moldovan-Transdnistrian conflict settlement process, as well as
  Moldova’s relationship with Romania and the European Union. The paper
  speaks to policy-relevant debates about the interplay between citizen and
  elite interests, as well as raises questions about whether small, newly independent
  countries like Moldova can decide their fate”. – Rebecca Chamberlain-Creanga

  region, for almost two years in 2004-06 for the study Manufacturing Separatism: Transnational Economy,
  Identity, and State Formation on a Post-Soviet Frozen War Front,
  supported by several US Department of State/Title VIII academic fellowships.
  She will be a Research Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington,
