India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor, the Abraham Accords and the Three Seas Initiative

What is it about?

Adopted by India, UAE, Saudi Arabia, the EU, and the US in September 2023, the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) is becoming strategic for international trade. The research focuses on Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Central and East Europe (CEE) through IMEC and the Three Seas Initiative (3SI). In September 2023, the 3SI expanded towards Greece, which maintains strategic trade relations with Israel and the UAE. Through the Abraham Accords and IMEC, the Three Seas Initiative is linked with India, enabling a new North-South route. The research aims to answer the following question: What is the geopolitical connection between the Abraham Accords, the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor, and the Three Seas Initiative, and what is their impact on the role and position of the critical states for those initiatives?

Why is it important?

The presented research problem is significant because it concerns the growing role and position of international relations between Central and Eastern Europe, the Abraham Accords countries, and India. Its importance takes on an even deeper dimension considering the dynamic development of cooperation in recent years between the two areas considering the emerging new global order. Moreover, the proposed article fills the gap in the research area. It is the first research linking Central Eastern Europe, especially the Three Seas Initiative, with the Abraham Accords and India-Middle East Europe Economic Corridor countries, with the deep consideration of those platforms of cooperation’s role in co-shaping a new economic corridor.
