Russia, NATO, and Black Sea Security Strategy: Regional Perspectives From a 2019 Workshop

Abstract

On March 22, 2019, the RAND Corporation and the Bucharest Office of the German Marshall Fund (GMF) of the United States, in cooperation with the Aspen Institute Romania, organized a workshop on "Russia, NATO, and Black Sea Strategy: Regional Perspectives" in Bucharest, Romania. The workshop brought together a group of 24 experts and former officials from Europe and the United States for nonattribution discussions on four topics of relevance to the strategic context in the Black Sea: (1) Russia's strategy in the region; (2) Russian military and soft-power instruments; (3) Western goals and interests; (4) elements of Western strategy. This report summarizes the dialogue among participants on each topic. It also includes background on the geopolitical context provided by the RAND and GMF organizers, which prompted a series of questions framing the dialogue.
