Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims at explaining and canvassing the new approach within the security studies – the security governance – by employing a descriptive and interpretative discourse. We also look forward to present it as an alternative for solving and managing security issues and the risks and threats that are much more diverse and complex in the current international system. Thus, the Security Governance is a recent approach, still in a developing phase, which made its entrance into the specialists’ debates in the context of globalization, actually combining the concept of security (understood in its broadest sense) with the notion of governance. In order to demonstrate the applicability of this new approach we called for a case study, analyzing the level reached by the security governance in the Wider Black Sea Area on two dimensions: at the security sector within the littoral states and at the regional level.
