Region‐building has been on the move around the Black Sea since the early 1990s. Several initiatives and projects have been emerging. Yet, to date there is still no blueprint for Black Sea regionalism to deepen cooperation and integrate into the European community. An embryonic form of Black Sea regionalism has emerged with regular meetings of the Organisation of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation between leaders, ministers and senior officials in which European Union (EU) officials participate as observers. There also exists a patchwork of cooperation at different levels and in different areas such as in environment, organized crime and energy. But recent tensions in relations between pairs of states, such as Russia and Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Russia and Ukraine or even the EU and Russia over various issues, cast doubts as to how fast and how far Black Sea regionalism can go. The future of Black Sea regionalism remains, at best, fuzzy. There are many different initiatives and ideas afloat but there is no clear overarching vision. To understand where Black Sea regionalism is now and where it is heading, this article will first address a conceptual understanding of Black Sea regionalism. It will then chart the development of regionalism in the area from the early 1990s to the present, examining some of the commonly cited reasons for the way Black Sea regionalism has emerged and performed, developed into its current state of play, providing finally a prognosis on the future of Black Sea regionalism along with recommendations
