The Black Sea region is a battleground between two competitive security visions, traditionally labeled as modernist and post-modernist. The main divergence in security visions is due to the security identities of the actors. Analysis of Ukrainian, Russian and Turkish security policies may bring us to the conclusion that these actors represent different security orders. So far, in lots of cases the security identities of parties are founded on mutually exclusive premises and provide for only a situational cooperation. It is quite unlikely that the gap between the different security orders will be bridged in the near future.
