The idea for this book is derived from the scantiness of academic
references on the European Union's policies towards the Black Sea,
relative to this region's officially stated significance for the
EU. Even though the EU plays a vital role in Black Sea political
agendas, the EU's cooperation with the region is not extensively
covered by academic discussions and literature. This is mostly due
to the fact that the EU's focus on foreign affairs is mainly
associated with the Balkans, as part the current and potential
expansion, and the Middle East, as a direct consequence of the
upheaval of the Arab Spring. The Black Sea region is crucially
important for the EU because of the opportunities and challenges
that the region presents, both politically and socio-economically.
Contributions to this book mostly focus on specific issues of
EU-Black Sea cooperation, from conflict to the environment to
democracy, and how these particular relationships are perceived
within the region as well as through the lenses of stakeholders
such as Russia, Turkey, and the USA. Overall, the collection
focuses on projecting a more efficient role and a holistic strategy
for the EU in its approach towards the Black Sea region, testifying
to the need for a strong EU presence. For this reason, the Black
Sea area remains 'the neighbourhood too close to, yet still far
from, the European Union'. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the Journal of Balkan and Near Eastern Studies.
