The book "Transition: retrospectives and perspectives" includes a series of descriptive-analytical studies on issues of major importance for the Republic of Moldova combining the retrospective, current, and prospective approaches. The publication offers the opportunity to examine the transition process in Moldova through the eyes of independent and politically non-affiliated experts.
