Özet:

International organizations, peoples, press groups, transnational companies, states and blocks are the structures of the international political system where relations can be observed. Some organizations perform limited roles and functions, while others cover a wider range. In this context, it is clear that Turkey is focusing on economic cooperation, which is considered relatively less important than political or military cooperation in international relations. The dissolution of the Soviet Union represents a new era for the whole world as well as for Turkey. The old Eastern Bloc countries have tried to develop cooperation with the rest of the world because the restrictions brought by the two poles have disappeared. In the same way, in Turkey during this period, the search for a reposition in international politics entered. The organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (KEI) appeared in the early 1990s as a result of these searches. This article examines the establishment of the KEI and the efforts that Turkey has shown as a main player in the formation of this organization. In this framework, the emergence of international organizations, regional cooperation and regionality discussions will be reviewed.
