in englischer SpracheThe EU’s fragile energy supplies increasingly depend on its neighbours, including Turkey. The Southern Corridor, aimed at diversifying the EU’s gas imports, highlights Turkey’s role as a transit country. Given the stalemate in Ankara’s accession negotiations, other ways of cooperation can be explored. How can the EU and Turkey work together to increase their energy security? Will Turkey play the role of an energy hub between West and East? Is Ankara interested in spreading European market rules across the region? Can the EU and Turkey find common ground for their climate policies?
