GEOPOLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ENERGY RESOURCES AND TRANSPORTATION ROUTES IN THE GEO-ENERGY SPACE OF THE NEAR EAST

Sanjarbek Shukhratovich Abdinabiyev ,

Abstract

This scientific article analyzes the geopolitical significance of energy resources and transport corridors in the geo-energy space of the Middle East. The study examines the reserves of energy resources, such as natural gas and oil, in the countries of the region, their territorial distribution, and their role in the global energy market. In addition, the importance of strategic transport corridors, including seas, maritime straits, and pipeline systems, which play a crucial role in supplying energy resources to world markets, is explored. The article also analyzes the impact of control over energy resources and the security of transport routes on regional and global geopolitical processes. The results of the study help to highlight the strategic role of the Middle East in global energy security and international political relations.
