https://doi.org/10.48137/26870703_2023_22_2_40
Abstract
The article explores energy diplomacy as a conceptual tool of foreign policy and describes methods and directions of energy diplomacy. It analyzes the application of the concept of energy diplomacy by the Islamic Republic of Iran in the oil and gas sphere taking into account the geopolitical position of Iran and historical development of the fuel and energy complex of the country. The authors highlight difficulties hindering the successful performance of Iran’s energy diplomacy in the Persian Gulf subregion. The untapped potential of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s energy diplomacy at the subregional level is also examined. The article presents scenarios regarding future of the country’s energy diplomacy in the Persian Gulf in the context of possible domestic reforms and subregional political transformations.
