NATO POLICY TOWARDS THE WIDER BLACK SEA AREA – A NEW TRANSATLANTIC BARGAIN?
NATO POLICY TOWARDS THE WIDER BLACK SEA AREA – A NEW TRANSATLANTIC BARGAIN?

Summary/Abstract: The end of the Cold War marked the end of the Europe division. This fact has not only transformed East-West relations, but it has also affected the transatlantic partnership. Europe is now broader and the US ambitions are now different. Thus, if the transatlantic relationship is to remain healthy, a new bargain must reflect the new reality, including a united Europe working together with US in managing challenges in and outside Europe. This new bargain has to include Central and Eastern Europe in defining a common strategic purpose centred on meeting the major strategic challenges of the day. In this context, Romania wants to play an active role in strengthening the transatlantic link by offering the power of example, influencing through its generosity and acting with wisdom.
