Eastern Mediterranean and Europe Study Group


The Eastern Mediterranean region – Cyprus, Greece, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, the Palestinian Territories, and Turkey – is of critical strategic importance to Europe’s political, economic and security interests. This Study Group explores the relationship between the Eastern Mediterranean and Europe. It examines issues such as immigration, energy, shared religious and cultural ties, and European identity. This year’s theme is “The Geopolitics of Energy in the Eastern Mediterranean: Implications for European Energy Policy.”
