Drafting EU Global Security Strategy Challenges Arisen by Frozen Conflicts in its Eastern Neighbourhood

Summary/Abstract: Although the EU global security strategy has to offer orientation on multiple levels and domains, the present paper approaches the challenges emerging from the Union’s eastern neighbourhood. The argumentation includes theoretical aspects of strategy, main characteristics of the Black Sea security environment, trends of frozen conflict evolution, and the EU’s approach in this entire context. The study concludes that the serious challenges the EU faces nowadays in its eastern vicinity are the result of phenomena with a consistent history and deficient management by the EU. In our opinion, this train of events makes the project of a new EU security strategy so challenging that it could become a new document of an over-general character, with little practical value.
