The Strategic Importance Of Pipelines Between Geopolitics And Cooperation Opportunities
Authors : Sahnoune Nor El Imen .
Abstract
Energy is the most significant component of power and a strategic stake that great nations have to dominate in order to achieve global leadership. This control, however, will not be complete unless it is linked to the methods in which these resources are traded. Pipes are the most cost-effective, secure, and environmentally friendly way to transport oil and gas compared to shipping, which faces numerous challenges and security threats. This has led many countries to prefer pipelines, particularly natural gas, whose demand has increased in recent years. Energy pipelines are one of the instruments to gain bargaining power since they are used as a pressure tool against rivals to achieve the state's interest .Further, if they are targeted, they might be a major generator of conflict between states threatening directly energy security. However, only the political will can make transform it to a fundamental foundation for collaboration, conflict resolution, and integration
