This paper examines the relationship between the Black Sea region and the European security order. The authors argue that the conflict in Kosovo has provided a marker for those seeking to analyze the evolution of international security and is playing a key role in the reshaping of a new European security order. The publication concludes that the necessity to continue economic integration and the problem of environmental spill-over may well provide unifying and integrationary pressures that will shape the geopolitics of the Black Sea region into the middle of the 21st century.
