DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this publication possible ways to promote security cooperation in the Wider Black Sea Area are being addressed. The area holds major importance for Euro-Atlantic security. Strategically located at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia, the region, after the dual NATO-EU enlargement in 2004-2007, became part of the periphery of the common Euro-Atlantic security system, with critical value for European energy security and the war on terrorism. The region faces a variety of security challenges, including regional conflicts, ethnic strife, terrorism, and powerful organized crime, while many of the countries have weak institutions, turbulent political systems, unstable economies and lack of democracy. In addition, the traffic of drugs to the West, the steady stream of militancy from the Middle East, and the energy lines from the oil and gas-rich regions of the East to an energy-hungry Europe gradually define the Wider Black Sea Area as a region urgently requiring political attention and investment in its security. This publication is intended to provide fresh ideas on the possible areas of security cooperation, even as the authors agreed that comprehensive, far-reaching policies are hard to attain in the near future.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince the cessation of the Cold War, the dynamic of relations between European states has been one of dramatic and continuous change. In the last ten years, an extraordinary sequence of events has unfolded in the ex-Soviet constellation, including EU enlargement, NATO expansion, and Russian opportunism in efforts to fulfill and defend the geostrategic interests of these and other state and non-state actors. Competing Powers: Security in the Wider Black Sea Region, edited by Scott Nicholas Romaniuk, delivers essential reflections on issues of foreign, security, and defense policy, militarism, conditionality, and democracy promotion through sector-specific cooperation. Articulate and faultlessly researched, the contributors of this volume adeptly navigate the morass of elements taking form in the European space, and provide provocative accounts of the factors challenging peace and security in an ever evolving Europe and its hotly contested spheres. This volume brings together experts who have distinguished themselves in public and academic spheres, all of whom deliver striking accounts of the forces that have and continue to hammer the Black Sea Region and its inhabitants.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Black Sea region is a dynamic and complex area in which many national and international actors have key interests, including Russia and the US. The European Union stretches to the sea’s western coast where it meets former Soviet territory as well as EU candidate Turkey. Regional tensions include those over NATO enlargement, a US anti-ballistic missile system, access to the Black Sea, democratization, spheres of interest and the conflict zones of Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Transnistria. In addition, the region’s close proximity to the Caspian basin offers the prospect of alternative energy resources and routes to western states. The Politics of the Black Sea Region: EU Neighbourhood, Conflict Zone or Future Security Community? explores and examines the many diverse political, security and economic interests that affect the region and the possible outcomes for it. By reviewing the wider history and examining the political systems and policies of the Black Sea nations and organizations as well as analyzing current tensions and future trends, it provides an invaluable, comprehensive and unique political guide to this fascinating area.

The workshop, which was attended by a balanced mix of international experts, focused on research concerning crucial aspects of energy security and the role of NATO, and covered issues such as energy security as part of national security concepts, transnational energy projects in Central and Eastern Europe and the Wider Black Sea area, national approaches to energy security, critical infrastructure aspects of energy security, scientific and industry support for establishing sustainability and alternatives in energy security. The book provides an overview of national and allied approaches to the topic of energy security, and will be of interest to all those whose work involved the field of energy security in general, and the Black Sea region in particular.
