CONSIDERATION REGARDING THE ROLE OF GEOPOLITICAL PIVOT OF THE BLACK SEA

Abstract

Influenced by political and military events, the Black Sea has become transformed into a complicated intersection of geopolitical and geo-economic boundaries, becoming also a framework within which the Euro-Atlantic community asserts itself. It's strategic importance lay mostly in the role it played as a bridge and a frontier, a buffer and transit zone, between Europe and Asia at the crossroads between powers and empires. Black Sea has remained during its history a sensitive spot on the larger Eurasian map, an area in which the Great Powers employed their geostrategic concepts about the control of the seas.
