The beginning of the paper presents an analysis of the notion of energy security and provides a theoretical framework, according to which international relation theories approach energy security issues. We follow the traditional tripartite division: realism, liberalism, Marxism as this illustrates the main analytical framework in terms of international energy politics. Then, this paper focuses on gas energy and its prospects, scrutinizing the reasons why natural gas emerged as an important energy source in a carbon constrained world. In light of the new gas discoveries, we analyze the potential conflicts and opportunities for cooperation that have been aroused. Israel, Cyprus, Turkey are key countries in this thesis. The analysis of their interactions is grounded on the neo-realistic perspective, which prioritizes the role of the power and highlights insecurity as a constant feature of international system. Finally, we discuss how recent discoveries affect the political agenda of global actors, driven by economic and security reasons and add a new perspective in the geostrategic dimension of this unstable region.

Η έρευνα επικεντρώνεται στην ανάλυση των κοινωνικών προβλημάτων της ελληνικής μειονότητας που προέκυψαν από την ένωση της Αλβανίας με το ιταλικό Βασίλειο, στις συνέπειες του ελληνοϊταλικού πολέμου, καθώς και στον προσδιορισμό των συνθηκών και στη μελέτη των παραγόντων που επηρέασαν τη στάση της ελληνικής μειονότητας απέναντι στον αλβανικό αντιστασιακό αγώνα. Το βασικό επιχείρημα της μελέτης είναι ότι οι πολιτικές και κοινωνικές παράμετροι, μέσα σε ένα περιβάλλον ανασφάλειας, ήταν αποφασιστικής σημασίας για τον πολιτικό προσανατολισμό της μειονότητας. Με βάση την ανάλυση των αρχειακών τεκμηρίων της εποχής, μέρος των οποίων έρχεται στο φως για πρώτη φορά, διερευνάται ο ρόλος της ιταλικής πολιτικής στη διαμόρφωση των σχέσεων της ελληνικής μειονότητας με τους Αλβανούς, τους Ιταλούς και τις ελληνικές αντιστασιακές οργανώσεις, αλλά και ο μηχανισμός πολιτικής ένταξης των μειονοτικών στην αλβανική αντίστ...
