Natural gas discoveries in the last decade have attracted growing interest from regional countries and beyond. However, recent escalations in tensions and outright confrontations suggest that competition goes beyond the scramble for energy. Indeed, natural gas is just one of the factors that contribute to shaping security and geopolitical dynamics in the Eastern Mediterranean, which has emerged as a crucial strategic area in the broader Mediterranean and the Middle East. Moving from the analysis of these interconnected factors, this Report examines the strategy and the plethora of interests of regional and international players, as well as the interplay between cooperative and competitive dynamics in the region. What are the geopolitical, security, and energy interests of the countries involved? What are the implications on the regional security context of the moves and policies of regional and international powers?. 517 $aScramble for the Eastern Mediterranean 606 $aInternational relations 607 $aMiddle East$xStrategic aspects 607 $aMediterranean Region$xStrategic aspects 615 0$aInternational relations. 676 $a327 700 $aTalbot$b Valeria$01348672 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910598144003321 996 $aThe Scramble for the Eastern Mediterranean$93086249 997 $aUNINA
