20 Years BSEC: evolution of institutions, evolution of priorities: interlinks within the Black Sea Region in a new era

Abstract

This report looks at the role and the progress of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (BSEC) and its related bodies on its 20th anniversary and the new priorities of the Black Sea region. The Organization of the BSEC has managed to promote stability and prosperity among its Member States while encouraging and inspiring interaction and cooperation in the Black Sea region. Contributors to the report attempt to answer whether the Organization has increased its efficiency as expected; to what degree it has supported regional cooperation and whether it has enhanced its interaction with other international organizations.
