Summary/Abstract: The end of the Russo-Georgian war, in August 2008, did not offer peace and calm hoped by the people around the Black Sea. A strange phenomenon has appeared in the region’s geopolitics. If, till then, an overwhelming majority of the debates underlined that the multitude and the diversity of the frozen conflicts are the main reasons for the region’s instability, the beginning of 2009 has proved something else. Now, military bases are the stake of geostrategical games. The globalisation hasn’t put up only the echoes of world’s recession on the politico-economical space, but the ambitions of great power to dominate such a rich area in resources, a possible way to solve the crises.
