Editorial #1

The geopolitical developments recorded in the Eastern Mediterranean over the last few years and the successive crises that have taken place in the region create a volatile environment. The new energy routes that have been planned for a long time have been the fuse that has triggered a series of developments that have aroused the lively interest of the whole planet.

All of these affects in many ways and at many levels the transport networks in a geographical area with a strong footprint in maritime transport. GeoTrends seeks to document geopolitical developments in the region, examining the strategic moves of states and their impact on security and stability. Both shipping and infrastructure are central to our analysis. We study current trends and challenges facing the shipping and port industries, from trade flows and maritime transport to environmental impacts and technological innovations.

In addition, we explore the political and economic situation of the region, documenting economic policies, investment opportunities and growth prospects. Our aim is to provide our readers with a comprehensive picture of the dynamics shaping the Eastern Mediterranean and equip them with the knowledge necessary to understand the new environment.
