Geoeconomics

Geoeconomics – one of DGAP’s core themes – explores how the politics of trade, technology, finance, and/or energy can be employed to achieve strategic goals. For Europe to remain a key player internationally, the continent must help define the rules of a new geoeconomic world order. DGAP looks at how Germany can contribute to better positioning Europe in this increasingly competitive landscape.

International conference discusses the geopolitical environment of the Southern Gas Corridor

The Southern Gas Corridor transporting Caspian natural gas to Europe is beginning to take shape. Final investment decisions were made by the operating consortium in 2013. But in what geopolitical context does the project find itself? What is Azerbaijan hoping for as natural gas provider to European customers? And what role does the EU play in developing the gas corridor? These and other questions were the focus of an international conference at the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP).
