We will analyze the ability of a coastal state to assert rights on its Exclusive Economic Zone. This theme becomes complex when this activity is taking place in a region where a lot of particularities are occurring. According to UNCLOS, an EEZ is an area, which reaches until 200 nm from the baseline, it starts after the territorial sea with which is adjacent, in this area states have rights on the living and non living beings and in the natural resources,. Mediterranean is a semi-enclosed sea, which has special status in the UNCLOS and the distance between the states is less than 400 nm, and so overlapping claims are taking place. Everything started, in the end of 90s when oil and gas were found in the region. The discovery of semantic hydrocarbon deposits in Eastern Mediterranean created new challenges apart from opportunities. RoC has claimed its own Exclusive Economic Zone and has already sign bilateral agreements for the delimitation of Egypt in 2003, with Lebanon in 2007 and with Israel in 2010. Turkey criticizes all the time these actions, arguing that it didn’t consider the Turkish-Cypriot rights and jurisdiction over the maritime areas of the island and Turkey’s continental shelf. To understand the case, the theory of geopolitics will be used, along with its three more relevant attributes: Natural resources, Territory and Power Distribution. Moving to the main part of the paper there is an analysis that advocates Liberal Institutionalism and institutions, with EU being the major one, as key factor for a solution to be found.
