In partnership with the Romanian National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNPSA), the Transatlantic Security Initiative of the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security of the Atlantic Council has announced the formation of a policy task force focused on Black Sea security.
“The Black Sea faces a defining moment, where champions of democracy confront forces of autocracy,” said Frederick Kempe, Atlantic Council president and CEO. “At the frontier of NATO, this region will only rise in significance in the coming years. Given its ongoing work on Black Sea Security, as well as its thought leadership on transatlantic security and defense issues, the Atlantic Council is uniquely positioned to contribute to the policy efforts of the US and allies on this topic”.
As the US government works to develop a Black Sea Strategy countering adversarial aggression and NATO reaffirms the strategic importance of the region in its new Strategic Concept, this taskforce is uniquely positioned to generate ideas and novel strategies in support of these processes, and enable cooperation among allies and partners to enhance stability and promote solidarity in the region.
