The Kiel International Seapower Symposium 2017 discusses maritime security challenges in the Eastern Mediterranean. It aims to shed light on current political and military developments in the region as well as their broader geopolitical implications. Consequently, the conference will discuss to what degree both regional and non-regional actors utilize sea power in order to secure their interests in this part of the world. Thereby a multitude of aspects needs to be considered. These range from sea control, power projection capabilities, and the control of straits, to the security of SLOCs, maritime and economic infrastructure, anti-access/area denial networks, and littoral warfare – all of which have a significant bearing on the future developments in the region and beyond.
