Legal Regulation of the Ideological Aspects in the Process of Ensuring the National Security of the Republic of Moldova

Abstract

In the ex-Soviet space in general and in the Republic of Moldova in particular, the ideological aspects of national security are instinctively associated with the tragic consequences of the Soviet system and the communist regime of that period. However, the express definition of the national interest and national values as the foundation of the state structure and the normative system for ensuring national security constitutes an indisputable imperative. Thus, this article reflects, in addition to the definitions, conceptions and interpretations of the term ideology, in the context of ensuring the legal-normative basis of the state’s national security, and the need for the express formulation in the text of the future National Security Strategy, the essence and content of the national interest and national values, as the ideological foundations of the national security of the Republic of Moldova.
