| Abstract: |
The article attempts to make a general overview of the current attitudes towards the United States of America among the Black Sea states, in Türkiye, Bulgaria, and Romania in particular. They focused on finding out what kind of sentiments towards America are present among the representatives of the political circles and within the societies in the Black Sea states; are there any anti-American narratives while taking into account the fact that all countries of the region except Russia are considered as American partners; what factors influenced these attitudes. The evolution of anti-Americanism in the Black Sea region, particularly in Türkiye, Bulgaria, and Romania, reflects a complex interplay of historical legacies, geopolitical dynamics, and internal political factors. While Türkiye grapples with mixed sentiments and a balancing act between the U.S. and Russia, Bulgaria's public opinion reflects a complex interplay of pro-European aspirations and historical ties to Russia. Romania, on the other hand, showcases a predominantly favorable attitude towards the U.S., driven by security concerns and a commitment to NATO, despite some critical voices. The ongoing Russian aggression in Ukraine has further influenced these dynamics, highlighting the strategic importance of the Black Sea region in U.S. foreign policy [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
