Energy Security in the Middle East and Global Markets

Abstract

This article analyzes the issue of energy security in the Middle East as a complex and multi-layered process. The author approaches energy security not merely as a technical or economic matter, but as a profound political, geopolitical, and institutional challenge. The study highlights the region’s strategic position in the global energy market, the significance of maritime routes and infrastructure, and the impact of geopolitical conflicts on energy prices and supply stability. Moreover, short-, medium-, and long-term solutions are systematically proposed, based on principles of regional cooperation, gradual integration, and international support. The article demonstrates opportunities to achieve stability and economic development in the Middle East through modernizing energy infrastructure, developing renewable energy sources, managing water-energy interdependencies, and establishing scientific and technological clusters. It provides scientific and practical evidence that energy interconnectivity can serve as a crucial tool for reducing regional conflicts and strengthening peace.
