Inicjatywa Trójmorza w perspektywie sieci powiązań i form organizacji państw regionu
The Three Seas Initiative in the perspective of network connections and forms of organization of countries in the region

Summary/Abstract: The Three Seas Initiative (3SI) is a strategic instrument aimed at minimizing disparities in the economic development of the Central European region. The attractiveness of the Three Seas stems both from its geopolitical location and cooperation at the presidential level. However, the complexity and diversity of the contemporary international system, as well as tensions on the international stage, create difficulties in developing optimal conditions for cooperation that would allow for influencing global politics and economic development in the region. The article examines the networking of Central and Eastern European countries in relation to integration and cooperation initiatives in this region. The aim of the article was to determine whether the multitude of entities operating in Central Europe constitutes competition for the Initiative's format. At the same time, attention was drawn to defining the directions of the 3SI development strategy and assessing its chances of survival in the face of intensifying competition for dominance in the region. The authors note that attempts to expand the 3SI's membership may render it ineffective. The use of comparative analysis in the article has enabled clarification and consolidation of the 3SI's position in the region's countries relative to other integration formats.
