This book focuses on the contemporary situation in the Eastern Mediterranean which has become one of the main spotlights of international politics. Especially after the discovery of hydrocarbon resources the Eastern Mediterranean has been in the agenda of both regional and global powers. While regional actors such as Egypt Israel and Greece are attempting political maneuvers in order to benefit from the hydrocarbon resources international actors such as the United States and Russia have become increasingly more engaged in the affairs of the region. In response to emerging partnerships and coalitions Turkey which has the longest shore in the Eastern Mediterranean has adopted a pro-active policy to defend its rights and interests. This book examines political legal and economic dimensions of the Eastern Mediterranean and brings a new insight to the recent developments and the Turkey's policy in the region.
