REGIONAL AND TRANSFRONTIER COOPERATION AS A TOOL FOR CONFLICT PREVENTION AND SETTLEMENT IN THE BLACK SEA REGION
2006 December
Abstract
The EastWest Institute (EWI) organized this roundtable discussion as part of the policy and parliamentary initiative within the Conflict Prevention Program. The roundtable brought together a select group of 20 participants, including regional leaders from government, business, academia, multilateral organizations and civil society. It was unique in that it focused on the region itself and on intra-regional relations, rather than the relationship between the region and the EU. The event addressed regional cooperation and conflict prevention rather than solely the resolution of “frozen” conflicts.
