Hello everyone!

After the experiment on Italy's parliamentary elections, I'm back to geopolitics with an article published today on Geopolitical Monitor!

The Eastern Mediterranean is a geopolitially complex maritime region.Recent offshore gas discoveries have created interest from major energy firms, but have also fostered competition between the area's main powers as well as external players.

In my article, I analyze the latest developments and I show how the conflicts / disputes over in Syria, Lebanon and Cyprus are closely related to a geopolitical competition for offshore gas that will transform the Eastern Mediterranean in a zone of clashes and opposing claims similar to the South China Sea.
