Özet:This thesis analyzes how a relative security in the Black Sea Region has been established and sustained since the end of the WWII by adapting international structure understanding of Neorealist theory to regional structure. In the Region, there has been a Soviet/Russian sphere of influence and special relations between the USSR/RF and its subordinates shape both the distribution of capabilities and the ordering principle of the regional structure. In the Black Sea Region, the distribution of capabilities has not been unipolar since the beginning of the Cold War due to the presence of Turkey, which has been the US ally country. The ordering principle has been anarchical hierarchy within anarchy because of the co-existence of subordinate states of the different great powers. This regional structure has been effective in enhancing or terminating regional security because it affected the policies of the regional and the non-regional actors that could destroy or maintain regional security. In this thesis, from 1948 (beginning of the Cold War) to 2012; in main three periods, security situation of the Region, regional structure, sphere of influences in the Region, security situation of international system and relations between great powers are defined and then, relationship between regional structure and regional security is laid down. In all periods, how regional structure affects policies of regional and related non-regional actors and how this web of relations and position affects regional security is shown.
