Abstract: This article analyses a new social space at the border between Romania and Moldova. Given the common identity of the two territories, it explores the changes in the new space and the creation of Euro-regions as contemporary geopolitical strategies, analysing their effectiveness along the Romanian–Moldovan border. The paper attempts to combine two concepts of space and regionalism to construct a new configuration of territory. It also suggests that where historical–cultural identity exists, it may provide a better foundation in the development of Euro-regions and cross-border activities, and may reactivate positive perceptions between citizens.
