Doğu Akdeniz, son yıllarda keşfedilen önemli miktardaki petrol ve doğal gaz kaynaklarıyla dikkatleri üzerine çekmiştir. Bu hidrokarbon kaynakları, bölgenin jeopolitik dinamiklerini derinlemesine etkileyerek hem çatışma risklerini artırmış hem de yeni iş birliği fırsatlarının önünü açmıştır. Bu makale, Doğu Akdeniz’de keşfedilen hidrokarbon kaynaklarının Türkiye açısından bölgesel çatışma ve iş birliği dinamikleri üzerindeki etkilerini neorealist bir perspektiften analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu analiz, iş birliği ve çatışmaya yol açan temel dinamikler hakkında daha derin bir anlayış sahibi olmamıza ve Doğu Akdeniz’deki aktörlerin gelecekteki davranışlarını tahmin etmemize büyük ölçüde yardımcı olacaktır. Makalede, bölgede aktif bir politika izleyen Türkiye, KKTC, Libya, İsrail, GKRY, Mısır ve Yunanistan devletleri arasındaki ilişkiler ele alınmaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler
