An Analysis on Geopolitics and Geoeconomy of the Gas OPEC

The global economy is strongly depending on natural gas and this energy resource is one of the most important elements of what the world needs in the future. Therefore, controlling these energy resources and its routes has become one of the power means. Indeed, those countries which have these resources and produce gas can apply such economic means to achieve their own political objectives as well as to gain prestige in the international arena. To this, to create an organization by the exporting countries in order to clarify the goals and to present the logic and good method for maximizing their interests is very essential. Therefore, it would be very significant to explore the GECF’s objectives. It is also important to illuminate the geopolitical and geoeconomic changes which will be caused by such organization both in regional and global level and its impact on the exporting countries’ economy and politics and those countries which consume gas as well.
