Economic diplomacy and its transformation (modern European view)

Some approaches to the modern concept of the formation and development of economic diplomacy are described. Attention is drawn to the need for a wider and more active promotion of the principles of economic diplomacy in Moldova as a candidate country for EU membership. On the basis of modern research by European authors, it is concluded that it is necessary to expand the circle of participants in economic diplomacy in Moldova at the expense of subnational actors (paradiplomacy), municipalities (urban diplomacy) and others, taking into account the priority nature of economic mechanisms that allow to improve the indicators that make up the concept of well-being of citizens and their associations.
