Ενεργειακή Διπλωματία στην Ανατολική Μεσόγειο: Οι Περιπτώσεις των Αγωγών Ηλεκτρικής Διασύνδεσης EuroAsia και EuroAfrica Interconnector
Resumen
Επ’ αφορμής της πρόσφατης και εν εξελίξει ρωσικής εισβολής κατά της Ουκρανίας, τέθηκε στο τραπέζι των διαπραγματεύσεων η συζήτηση για το μέγεθος της εξάρτησης της αγοράς ενέργειας από τους ρωσικούς φυσικούς πόρους, όπως λ.χ. το φυσικό αέριο. Στην παρούσα μελέτη θα γίνει μια προσπάθεια να καταγραφούν οι διακρατικές συνεργασίες στον ενεργειακό τομέα μεταξύ της Ελλάδος, του Ισραήλ, της Αιγύπτου και της Κύπρου. Σκοπός του παρόντος εγχειρήματος είναι να μελετήσει τα προτερήματα των διασυνδετήριων αγωγών “EuroAsia Interconnector” και “EuroAfrica Interconnector” από κοινού με το πλαίσιο ενεργειακής διπλωματίας, το οποίο οικοδομείται στην Ανατολική Μεσόγειο. Η παρούσα ανάλυση θα προβεί σε μία εξέταση των πιθανών πολιτικών επιλογών των ήδη δομημένων σχέσεων των ανωτέρω κρατών, καταλήγοντας στον τρόπο με τον οποίο αυτές μπορούν να αποτελέσουν το βασικό πυλώνα για την σταδιακή και εν τοις πράγμασι εδραίωση της ενεργειακής αυτονομίας στην περιοχή της Ανατολικής Μεσογείου.
