Abstract
This article examines the growing trend towards regional cooperation in the corridor between the Baltic and the Adriatic/ Black Sea and specifically focuses on the origins, structures, activities and prospects of the most important such bodies: the Nordic Council, the Baltic Sea Council, the Visegrad Group, the Central European Initiative, and the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Region. It seeks to place this recent development in the wider context of the longer‐term conflicts within the region and the relations between the states of the region and the European Community. The conclusion is that such regional co‐operation is not a strategic alternative to EC membership, but can represent an important and lasting element in the new European architecture.
