MAREA NEAGRĂ – DIN NOU PONT FĂRĂ HEGEMON, DIN NOU TEATRU HIBRID
THE BLACK SEA - AGAIN PONTUS WITH NO HEGEMON, AGAIN HYBRID THEATRE

Summary/Abstract: All the specific geopolitical turbulences of the last few years represent expressions of the attempts of the great actors to create favorable negotiating positions for the new formats of revision of the current global order. Currently, the implicit conventions underlying the current geopolitical model seem to be exhausted. We are witnesses of the paradigm of dismantling the current global political order and creating anew global geopolitical paradigm. In our opinion, the creation of operating theaters for the formal antagonism particularizes the new geopolitical paradigm of all previous models. Previous geopolitical models relied on the consensual recognition of a direct confrontation space/territory as a paradigmatic expression of the geopolitical model,while the new paradigms require masking/camouflage of ideological conflict territories through artificially created theaters of operations (military priority). In the epic of the new geopolitical paradigm, the tendency to artificially formalize a confrontational theater that masks the authentic intentions of the great political actors has the essential role. The most advanced unconventional technologies for testing the new props of geopolitical negotiation seem to belong to the Kremlin. Russia moves in Syria only military but geopolitically into the wider Black Sea area. The Black Sea region has a special significance in the recent geopolitical calibration of the Kremlin. The wider Black Sea region represents for the Russian Federation the real tactical field that tests its geopolitical resistance to the Euro-Atlantic political advancement and also the strategic vector of Russia's course in the new geopolitical context, the geographical and geopolitical perimeter that decides on its future positions in the negotiations on the new world order. The replies of the other global Black Sea actors seem not to have reached the refined level of the Kremlin. Our suggestion is that we must read the geopolitical processes taking place in the wider Black Sea area as an expression of geopolitical competition, in an unofficial perimeter, between the great political actors, with the goal of creating geopolitical dividends in ongoing negotiations for a new global order. All this geopolitical texture makes the Black Sea region the perfect polygon for new tests on the negotiations on the new global order. In the penumbra of battles for the public, this region will provide the alchemical combination for the new world order.
