Gas & Gunboats in the Eastern Mediterranean:
The next conflict at Europe's doorstep?

Monday 10 June 2019, 5:30-7:45pm,

Seminar Room B, Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge

The growing standoff between Turkey and Cyprus over energy resources in the Eastern Mediterranean runs the risk of turning into a regional conflict.

For years, there was hope that gas fields under the eastern Mediterranean Sea would usher in peace and prosperity in a volatile region. But a string of recent deals and gas finds have revealed deep geopolitical fault lines. Recent developments in the area have heightened tensions in what has been perennially a sensitive flashpoint.

A drinks reception shall follow the seminar.
