The aim of the article is to attempt to assess the results achieved in the economic and political field from the perspective of past cooperation as well as to see whether the directions and forms of this cooperation remain adequate to the challenges expected to be faced in the near future. In the current situation, the process of sustainable development implemented, among others, through the introduction of the concept of circular economy seems to be a solution guaranteeing security in all areas as well as further development.

Współpraca międzynarodowa w regionie Morza Bałtyckiego, a w szczególności państw skandynawskich, ma bardzo długą tradycję i wpłynęła na instytucjonalizację regionalnych stosunków międzynarodowych. Obecna Strategia Unii Europejskiej dla regionu jest pierwszą makroregionalną strategią UE, opartą na wcześniejszych doświadczeniach. Jej głównym celem jest wzmacnianie współpracy w regionie i promowanie zrównoważonego rozwoju, aby sprostać wspólnym wyzwaniom. Strategia przyniosła lepszą koordynację i efektywność istniejącej współpracy. Do wiosny 2014 r. region Morza Bałtyckiego był postrzegany jako region modelowy dla uwieńczonej sukcesem transformacji, bliskiej współpracy regionalnej, wymiany handlowej i bezpieczeństwa. Jednak obecnie staje on w obliczu nowych wyzwań związanych ze zmieniającą sie sytuacją polityczną (relacje UE–Rosja, brexit, migracje itp.). Zasady i formy zarządzania w regionie Morza Bałtyckiego okazały się być efektywne i wystarczające, aby sprostać problemom ekonomiczno-społeczno-politycznym. Jest to też odpowiedź na pytanie, czy jest jakiś dowód na istnienie modelowych reguł, form i sposobów współpracy, które mogłyby być powielane. Rezultatem tego jest wprowadzenie kolejnych trzech unijnych strategii makro-regionalnych.

The international cooperation in the Baltic Sea region, especially between Scandinavian countries, has a very long tradition that has impacted significantly on institutionalization of regional international relations. The current European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region is the first macro-regional strategy within the EU, based on the earlier regional experience. Its main goal is strengthening cooperation in this region and promoting sustainable development in order to meet common challenges. The Strategy has brought better coordination and effectiveness of the existing cooperation and turned out to be a very efficient and successful tool. Until spring 2014 the Baltic Sea Region was perceived as a model region for successful transformation, close regional cooperation, trade and inclusive security. However, it is now facing new challenges connected with changing political situation (EU-Russia relations, Brexit, migrations, etc.). The rules and forms of the governance in the Baltic Sea Region have appeared to be effective and sufficient in successfully addressing economic, social and political challenges. This is the answer to the question if there is any evidence to acknowledge the rules, forms and ways of cooperation as a model which possibly could be followed elsewhere. As a result, the EU has introduced three more macro-regional strategies.

In 2011 the Baltic Sea region was marking the 20th anniversary of the Baltic countries regaining their independence and the resumption of diplomatic relations with them. This region with the riches of experiences is the region where the currently established methods and practices of cooperation are a source of knowledge and experience for a peaceful striving after stabilization and welfare. The changes that took place 20 years ago have brought development of different forms of cooperation and a lot of regional international organizations were established. The governmental international organization is the Council of the Baltic Sea State, a regional political forum, whose stated aims are to coordinate the cooperation between the partners and to achieve sustainable growth of the region. The Prime Ministers have established a number of the valuable initiatives, such as Baltic21, which was a regional counterpart to the UN Agenda21, the Strategy for the Baltic Sea region or the Northern Dimension Partnership for Health and Social well-being. Also the groups of experts were appointed in order to advance work in the respective areas. Many of these aspects are connected with sustainable development, which nowadays is considered as one of the biggest challenges. The Baltic Sea region is also important for the European Union due to its strategic neighborhood.
