Abstract

Despite all the diversity in its history and social fabric, the Black Sea region has managed to find common ground, especially toward the end of the twentieth century. In 1992, the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) concept—initially a Turkish idea—developed progressively into a common project among eleven states, and, in 2004, the number became twelve. The BSEC era has seen the relations among member countries appreciably revive, and the strategic role of the long-neglected Black Sea basin in bridging continents has been considered increasingly important. In this setting, Turkey has notably enriched its cooperation with the member countries, with the main policy of boosting solidarity to enhance the development and stability of the region. Within this framework, this chapter examines Turkey’s development cooperation with two BSEC members, Moldova and Georgia, in the 2000s and 2010s.
