Summary/Abstract: To analyse the geopolitical features of the Black Sea region, the author believes that there must be identified the major obstacles with which the region confronts and the paradigms regarding the area, as well as the efforts of coastal states to become involved in a dynamic and systematic process meant to establish regional security. In this respect, the impact of the era of the post-communist transition on the Black Sea states is an essential factor in understanding the current situation through which these states adapt to the new transatlantic security order. Last but not least, the analysis of geo-economic interests of some powers, mainly from the viewpoint of the energy competition, resources transit lines that connect the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea and Central Asia, can determine the identification of the short- and medium-term geopolitical perspectives of the actors involved in this region.
