In this article, the renaissance of geopolitical reflection in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is analyzed and an attempt is made to explain its causes by giving examples. The process will be shown through a case study of Poland’s security policy and the international initiatives it has started: the Three Seas Initiative (TSI) and the Bucharest Nine (B9). Both projects will be interpreted as geopolitical projects which focus on overcoming the historical peripherality of the CEE region, by reducing the development gap (within the EU) and decreasing the risk of possible threats to security (within NATO). However, TSI and B9 projects are still largely funded or inspired by external actors.
