The Middle Eastern and North African region (MENA) dominates world
energy exports today and will likely do so for decades to come,
even if world consumers make steady progress in conservation,
renewable energy sources, and increases from gas, coal, and nuclear
power. The MENA region, however, has been the scene of both
internal crises and external conflicts. On several occasions, these
crises have affected either the flow of MENA energy exports or the
development of energy production and export capacity. The politics,
economics, and social dynamics that shape threats to regional
stability are complex. Cordesman details the factors behind these
diverse forces and outlines current supply levels and future
trends, taking each of these variables into consideration. The MENA
area includes at least 22 states, with a combined population of
nearly 300 million, each with different political, economic,
demographic, and security conditions and needs. It is divided into
at least four sub-regions including the Maghreb (Mauritania,
Morocco, Algeria, Libya, and Tunisia); the Levant and the
Arab-Israeli confrontation states (Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon,
and Syria); the Gulf (Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi
Arabia, the UAE, and Oman); and the Red Sea states (Yemen, the
Sudan, and Somalia). This important guide outlines the forces
affecting each sub-region, including supply, demand, and financing,
and forecasts the likely impact that different scenarios would have
on energy resources under varying world conditions.
