The Black Sea Region stands out as a region where realpolitik once more has come to the fore. This project maps drivers that currently affect the shifting geopolitics of the Black Sea region: Turkey and Ukraine as competing transit routes for Eurasian gas export, Ukraine's attempts to sustain a foreign policy for European integration versus the increasing Russian 'pull', and the partial melting of the 'frozen conflicts' and renewed great power engagement in South Caucasus. Each of these factors will − together or seperately − determine how the regional dynamics of the Black Sea unfolds.
