Abstract
In an increasingly interdependent world, regionalization is considered
as a means of collaboration and integration among member states. The
Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) project is a regional economic
co-operation arrangement established on 25 June 1992 by 11 coun-
tries: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Greece, Moldova,
Romania, the Russian Federation, Turkey and Ukraine. The region con-
stitutes a sizeable market with a population of over 350 million people. The
main aim of BSEC is to develop and diversify existing economic relations
among its members, by making efficient use of the advantages arising from
their geographical proximity. At the same time, BSEC is expected to help
transform the centrally planned economies and improve economic and
social integration through intra-regional convergence of governance insti-
tutions and inter-regional convergence with the European Union (EU)
as a means of collaboration and integration among member states. The
