During this Policy Dialogue, it emerged that the world’s energy map has been redrawn, especially when it comes to gas; the traditionally seller-orientated market is quickly becoming a buyer’s market. Speakers highlighted a number of key areas: the Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) as a key EU energy diversification project, the importance of Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Georgia in terms of their role in the development of the SGC and, in the case of Azerbaijan, as a source of gas; prospects for Turkish Stream; the potential of Iran as a future gas supplier and the increasingly difficult relationship between Russia and the West and the impact on energy relations.

Europe in the World

The Europe in the World (EiW) Programme scrutinises the impact of a changing international system on Europe and probes how the EU and its member states can advance their interests and values on a regional and global level. It examines the EU’s relations with both major and middle powers around the world, and how Europe can continue to contribute to a rules-based global order. Secondly, the Programme focuses on the role of the EU in fostering reform, resilience and stability in neighbouring regions and looks closely at developments in Turkey and Ukraine, among other countries. Thirdly, the Programme examines and seeks to advance the development of Europe’s security and defence policy.
