Kvazistáty v mezinárodních vztazích - případová studie

This bachelor thesis deals with the Transnistrian Moldovan Republic as a quasi state entity on the political map of the world. The aim of the work is to assess the status of quasi states in international relations and then apply the theory to the case study of the Transnistrian Moldovan Republic, where they are evaluated both internal and external factors and relations that affect that position. There has been a frozen conflict in this area since 1992. Although many players of international relations, who are interested in this territory, have already tried to thaw this conflict, a peaceful resolution has not been found yet. Transnistria began this conflict because it wanted to become a fully independent state. However, its bad economic situation has caused that it is essentially dependent on its patron, the Russian Federation. This frozen state is convenient for the Russian Federation because thanks to Transnistria it can exert greater influence over the whole of Moldova.
