GEOPOLITICS AND EURASIA

Resumen

The convergence and divergence among Europe, Asia and Africa about the Mediterranean as
a geopolitical center, and the end of the cold war, are shaping a new continental security zone:
Eurasia. Currently, this scene of conflict is witnessing wars with different features and characteristics,
such as ethnicity and religion; interstate or global security concerns -as is the case of Iraq,
Iran and Afghanistan; and border conflict as was the case between Georgia and Russia for the
independence of South Ossetia. Control of this area means global domination of population and
provision of energy during this century.
Key words: Geopolitics, Europe, Asia, international conflict.
