EEZ CONFLICTS IN EAST MED AND A POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Journal Title: International Journal of Sustainability with Climate and Energy - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Alternative natural gas sources have become much more important for the EU (which is a major natural gas consumer), which is now trying to purify its markets from Russian gas. In this context, the East Med has started to attract more attention with its proved and possible natural gas resource potential. In addition to its importance in the context of energy, it is also important to guarantee that the tensing balances in the north does not shift to the south. Which means, global dynamics is not in such a situation to manage another war or a hot conflict in the East Med. From a geopolitical point of view, China's increasing activity in the region, new investment initiatives, and political and military objectives, although disguised as a commercial cover, push the Eastern Mediterranean to a position that needs more attention. Moreover, through a more political approach, China - Iran - Saudi Arabia normalization negotiations, Iran's military initiatives including nuclear weapons, the further strengthening of terrorist organizations such as the PYD in Syria, and radical groups in Lebanon and Syria whose operational capabilities has increased with new weapons threaten the security of the region. As a result, existing resource potentials and the possible security risk and threats further reinforce the importance of the Eastern Mediterranean. Where it is obvious that this region still has a very strategic position for the flow of many commercial cycles and value chain supplies for a globe.
