A new approach to the prevention of pollution in the black sea:regional public goods

Abstract

One of the most fundamental tasks of modern nation states is to be able to present public services in accordance with the citizens’ expectations in the light of public opinion (Sezer and Vural, 2010: 204). Globalization and regionalization processes, which gained importance in the 1990s, require the definition and functions of some public goods and services offered by modern nation states to be reconsidered at regional and global levels from the national levels (Çelebi and Yalçın, 2008: 1). The main reason for public goods and services to be handled again with regard to their definition and functions both at the global and regional levels is because goods and services in the benefit of humanity such as environment, health, security, poverty, and knowledge change dimension and quality by the influence of globalization. For example, the environmental problems have become a problem that involves mutual dependence between countries. Naturally, policies that exceed the borders of countries and that try to resolve the regional and global environmental problems need to be redesigned at supranational level
