Geopolitical Changes at Regional Level Require a Romanian Maritime Strategy
Geopolitical Changes at Regional Level Require a Romanian Maritime Strategy

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to analyse the security environment in the Black Sea Region, the importance of the region, the regional initiatives of the littoral states and main international actors, the importance of a regional security project as well as of a Romanian Maritime Strategy. The change in the regional balance of power, the invasion of Ukraine, the existence of an uncertain security situation in the maritime space, and the transformation of the Black Sea region, for EU and NATO, from a secondary military theatre to a main military theatre require for Romania to develop a Security Strategy for the Black Sea. This strategy should underline Romania’s role as a supporter of a substantial NATO and EU presence in the region, the development of the Naval Forces and their own deterrence and naval projection capabilities, the need for a free and open Black Sea, as well as a procedure for the exploitation of fossil fuel reserves and other offshore resources.
