CAUCASUS EVENTS AND THEIR EFFECTS ON THE WIDER BLACK SEA AREA’S SECURITY
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2009, Vol 31, Issue 2
Abstract
The Black Sea region passed through a multitude of cloudy periods: wars, frontier revisions, ethnical conflicts, political and economic crises, as well “coloured” revolutions. These events were always initiated locally but the great powers maintained their important role all the time – the Romania’s and Bulgaria’s adhesion to NATO and the European Union and also the negotiations launch with Turkey regarding its adhesion to EU seems changing basically into the geopolitics of the Black Sea region. Every region's conflict,no matter its causes, objectives and means has elements of geopolitical competition as the confrontations from Georgia and Ukraine or the fights between different political parties and politicians from any region’s country, these resulting into geopolitical reconstructions out of simplest visions that share the area in “pro- Occident” and “anti-Occident” or “pro-Russian” and “anti-Russian”.
