Energy security as an approach to engineering conflict and cooperation in the Mediterranean

Abstract

Energy is among the driving sectors of countries due to the strategic importance of this vital resource, which was and still is among the important resources, especially in light of the increasing global demand for energy in order to secure its supplies in light of the scarcity and increase in demand for it, and this has created a kind of collision in the interests of countries.

However, on the other hand, some regions have worked to engineer cooperation among themselves to reduce the severity of collisions by concluding partnership agreements, such as the Mediterranean region, which brought together a southern bank rich in this resource and a northern bank seeking to possess and secure its energy supplies.
