Summary/Abstract: Black Sea area is an area in which cooperation takes many forms. However, possibilities of cooperation are not fully turned into good account. The reasons cover an extended range: from the different approaches of the six coastal countries on security and stability in the region, to the historical legacy and difficult process of reform towards democracy and market economy that have generated disturbances in harmonization of the coastal countries’ interests. In addition, states are faced here with a form of cooperation that tends to frustrate the efforts to enhance security cooperation, namely the “cooperation that generates insecurity” among outside law actors.
