SECURITY COMPLEX AND REGIONAL CONCEPTS. THE WIDER BLACK SEA REGION. INSTITUTIONAL INTEGRATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITY AS SOLUTIONS OF REGIONAL SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: The present article presents the relevance of the security studies with a regional touch for the actors without global ambitions or capabilities, the impact of the structure and design of the international system on regional policies and regional security. As a direct option, the article chooses and motivates the option to discuss about regional security complex, with a direct impact on the Black Sea Region, to underline afterwards the effort of identifying the elements of cohesion, convergence and identity in order to realise the construct and the consecration of the Wider Black Sea Region (WBSR) as a security concept, an effort developped in the framework of the US-Romania Strategic Partnership. Finally, the thesis of the whole article underlines the institutionalizing and consistency of the relations at a regional level, good governance and functional institutions as a main motivation for promoting the liberal cognitive-institutional approach related to regional security, with the particular exemple of the Wider Black Sea Region and the fight between relevance, effectiveness and competitive over-institutionalisation in the area.
