Furthermore, the ICBSS Web GIS is a brand new interactive tool with main goal to diffuse statistical and indicator data for the countries of the Black Sea via the internet, and present them mainly as maps. Under these terms the expected audience should be familiar with the basic mapping functionalities and terminology, but special care is taken in order to present an application interface that is easily used by both experts and non-experts.
Please keep in mind that the site is still on a trial base and some parts are under construction.

Policy Brief No. 23
Food Security, Human Security and the Black Sea: The Instructive Case Study of 2010-2011 Events
This policy brief focuses on a case study. It is suggested that an environmental disaster during the summer of 2010 in the Black Sea region triggered in winter 2011 a food crisis in the Arab World; in turn, this led to massive riots, revolts, political instability, a NATO operation and, alas, an oil crisis that accentuates an already suffering global economy. Coextensively, it maybe suggested that an environmental crisis triggered a political crisis, which escalated in a series of conflicts that are of major concern for traditional security structures in Europe and beyond. In sum, the argument is made that as a result of this experience, the human security agenda must have a direct effect on our traditional security agenda. The question addressed at this point is how these interrelated chains of events affect the security establishment and our notions of a ‘high strategy.’
