Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Europe has been forced to urgently rethink its energy dependencies. In this context, Algeria has strategically repositioned itself as a key and reliable energy supplier, particularly to Italy. Through strengthened gas partnerships and infrastructure, Algeria has not only increased its exports but also reinforced its role as a stable partner in a time of uncertainty. This shift has allowed Italy, in turn, to reposition itself as an emerging energy hub in Europe, redistributing flows across the continent. The question is no longer who produces energy, but who controls its direction, its access, and ultimately, its political meaning.

Hello everyone, my name’s Syrine megherbi i am a second year masters student at the Graduate national school of Political science in Algeria, specialising in Public policies and comparative political systems. In the course of my studies i have grown more and more interested in the energy field and how it shapes global politics and international relations. Happy to be part of this inspiring group and looking forward to insightful discussions with everyone!
