Rolul guvernării inteligente în asigurarea dezvoltării durabile a Republicii Moldova

Abstract

In the 21st century there are different, even contradictory, economic and managerial theories, practices, and trends. But two of them are considered one of the most influential and perspective – sustainable development (SD) and knowledge (or smart) governance (k-G). The former appeared in 1980s and the latter in 2000s. They are seldom collated, but we consider that it can generate a synergic effect: kGaccelerates SD and vice versa. SD, including green economics (green meetings, office, procurement, energetically efficient technologies, waste management, etc.) and social eco-bio-economy, provide for a complex harmonization of the 3 basic human development components – economic, social, and environmental. K-G focuses on establishing policies, regulations, institutions, processes, structures, and capacities for knowledge, innovation and technology (KIT) acquisition and for using the acquired KIT to improve the quality of people’s life and work, including of government’s own operations and system. SD and k-G are very useful for all countries, including the Republic of Moldova and may become new and major directions of its development.Two relevant strategies (Moldova 2020 and e-Transformation (e-T)) have been recently adopted by the Government. The former isn’t perfect (including isn’t ecologically oriented) and must be improved; the latter is more successful and is being actively implemented now.
