The evolution of the security environment in the Black Sea Region

The geostrategic research of the Black Sea region, the conflicts existing in this region and the potential, but also the possible effects deriving from the evolution of the regional security environment, is a topical field that arouses interest and leads to the need to strengthen the system of security and cooperation both in the region but also globally. The cooperation is a very important aspect that perfects the good evolution of the economic, political and security situation of the Black Sea region, an evolution which can result in the development of successful projects in the future. We considered it necessary to analyze the Black Sea region alongside with the evolution of the security environment, given the security indicators, specific to the region, causes of risk, and the cooperation relations in the area, because we consider that these are the defining indicators that outline and explain the current situation in the region. Being the only region on the European continent where we still encounter frozen conflicts, it is important to realize an analysis of the evolution of the security environment and the prospects for cooperation, so that we can try to shape the possible scenarios with which the international environment will interact in the future.
