Just like organisms, states also need energy to maintain their mobility. States need more energy to meet their energy, so their energy dependence always continues. The Eastern Mediterranean region is an important area for states that need energy. Both Eastern Mediterranean countries and external countries can establish various co-operations to unlock the energy in this region or they can reserve military power as an option. The energy geopolitics of the Eastern Mediterranean, which has the world’s largest energy reserves, becomes more valuable with both energy lines and trade routes. For this reason, the mobilisations in this region are closely related to all Eastern Mediterranean countries, especially the countries with energy basins. This study analyses the energy geopolitics of the Eastern Mediterranean, discoveries and energy lines from the perspective of both Europe and the countries in the region. This article aims to analyse the cooperation on energy and energy routes in the Eastern Mediterranean within the geopolitical framework.}, number={2}, publisher={Uluslararası İlişkiler ve Politika Derneği (ULİPOD)}
