Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this article is to evaluate the security system for the durability and effectiveness of the Three Seas Initiative as an informal union of Central European countries. The author diagnoses a set of elements that constitute potential ‘fuses’ for implementing the goals set by 3SI: embedding the Initiative’s priorities within strategic EU programmes, informalization and decentralization of cooperation, and development of mutual business and economic cooperation. The analysis of the security system has been embedded in the context of contemporary challenges faced by Europe. In order to verify the problem of security mechanisms, desk research was carried out, which consisted of a system (political) analysis and elements of strategic analysis. The result of the research work was to determine the mutual interaction and conditioning of the individual pillars of the durability and effectiveness of 3SI. Thus, evidence was carried out for the legitimacy of recognizing the three previously defined aspects as crucial for the effective operation of the Three Seas Initiative.
Highlights
The statement that the political breakthroughs taking place in the Visegrad Group (V4) countries have resulted in radical changes in the policy vectors of these countries is one of the conclusions of the earlier research carried out by the author of this article (Lorek, 2020)
The author is aware that the presented considerations can only contribute to further research on the issue in question and deeper analyses
It should be acknowledged that in order to ensure a longer perspective of the duration of 3SI and the implementation of an ambitious plan to bridge the infrastructural differences between Central and Western Europe, scientists should focus on researching and diagnosing tools that will ensure this durability
Summary
The statement that the political (or even political and social) breakthroughs taking place in the Visegrad Group (V4) countries have resulted in radical changes in the policy vectors of these countries is one of the conclusions of the earlier research carried out by the author of this article (Lorek, 2020) In this context, the future of the Three Seas Initiative (3SI) as a broad forum of Central European countries, whose core is the V4, may arouse uncertainty and anxiety. The 3rd pillar that may secure cooperation and the achievement of goals set by the countries of Central Europe is the emerging level of institutionalized business partnerships.
