This handbook provides an overview on relevant structural features from a cultural-historical perspective and thereby examines to what extent the Black Sea region constitutes a historical meso-region "sui generis". The first introductory chapter is dedicated to the concept of the area as a historical meso-region. The second chapter gives a chronological overview on the history of the area from ancient until present times. The following three chapters are dedicated to a particular structural feature each: Chapter 3 covers ideas and identities, chapter 2 mobility and transfers, and chapter 3 deals with violence, conflict and conflict resolution.

Particular attention is paid to phenomena and developments which connect the different shores of the Black Sea and present a unifying characteristic of the region.
