The article examines Warsaw's attempts to expand its influence in Central Europe by initiating various regional integration projects: cooperation with the Baltic sea countries participation in the development of the Carpathian region the newest format – the Lublin Triangle. The content of the Lublin Declaration signed on July 28, 2020 by Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine is analyzed in detail. Having been convinced by the example of Ukraine that the Eastern Partnership policy does not allow for quick results, as well as in connection with the events in Belarus, Poland decided to create a regional initiative that can be considered as a continuation of the Eastern Partnership policy. The Lublin Declaration opens up a wide range of potential areas of cooperation, however it is still too early to say how successful this project will be. Initially it was planned that Belarus would also join the Lublin Initiative, but later Minsk refused to participate. This seriously limited the project, but does not exclude the possibility of future innovations in its format. The author concludes that the Lublin Triangle is one of the Warsaw's instruments to realize the idea of Intermarium

Functionalist Approach

Research on Baltic Sea region building processes emphasizes the discursive elements of the emergence of the region in the beginning of the 1990s, yet lacks the analysis of policy-specific developments of regional integration around the Baltic Sea. My article argues that the neo-functionalist approach opens useful insights in order to understand these developments. Starting from marine environment protection as a nucleus of regional integration, I demonstrate spill-over effects to the field of education policy and higher education co-operation in the Baltic Sea Region. Following this, I analyze why there are no spill-over effects to the adjacent policy area of agriculture up to now.

While the Baltic Sea Region is considered to be a pioneer region in the development of regional integration and identity, the Black Sea Region is regarded to be a laggard in terms of regionali¬zation and region building. My paper summarizes the role of regional higher education co-operation in the Baltic Sea regionalization process in theory and analyzes the empirical background of these assumptions. Yet, inasmuch an evaluation of the regions` status as a pioneer is possible only in a comparative perspective, I propose to compare the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea Region regarding their higher education networks systematically. My paper asks for the transferability of arguments in favor of a strong regional higher education co-operation in the Baltic Sea Region since the 1990s to today’s situation of the Black Sea Region. It concludes with some fundamental considerations on a comparative research project.

The European Union is strongly supporting regional integration tailored to build country resilience towards climate change driven hazards. This cooperation is developed by launching and implementation of the EU regional strategies. Poland is strongly involved in realization of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region while Hungary in EU Strategy for the Danube Region. On one hand both regions have their own problems, however, on the other they face similar challenges due to climate change phenomena. This argument encourages to learn from each other. One of the key problems related to climate change is water management, including flood management and sufficient access to fresh water. Nowadays, southern region of Europe, like Danube Region including Hungary, is being more and more tackled by limited access to fresh water. This is not the case in central and northern Europe yet. However, the problem can emerge soon in the Baltic Sea Region if the climate change will be continued. There are already first symptoms of such scenario. Therefore, the main aim of the article is to present the Danube Region and Hungarian experiences of water management in the context of climate change phenomena. The results constitute a lesson learnt from this region that can be easily adopted to the current and future challenges of the Baltic Sea Region.
