Abstract
The article highlights the directions of strengthening territorial economic
security in the Black Sea region. Taking into account the strategic role of this region in
the development of sustainable and secure partnership, the author suggests focusing on
shaping the future, regarding the principle of coordinated scenarios and actions of the
member-states to the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation.
The article stresses that for the countries of the region the geopolitical
significance of regional challenges is largely due to the jeopardized (enhancement,
accelerated, impetus) dynamics of global and national risks, which fundamentally affect
both the current state of affairs and subsequent forecasts. Therefore, cooperation in the
joint development of strategic thinking, in forecasting and political planning should
focus on allocating the funding and tools for transforming the Black Sea from the
confrontation zone into a space for peaceful convergence of civilization values.
The author proves that common initiatives of sovereign governments should be
oriented towards the protection of national interests. The effectiveness of the application
of various methods of resolving military, political, economic and social problems will
depend on the pace of institutional change at all levels. Consistent actions aimed at
further detente in the region need to be coherent with the relatively low rates of global
and national public perception of the need for new joint reforms aimed at realizing the
goals of sustainable development in favour of global and regional players.
Keywords: Economic security, sustainable development, Black Sea region,
