Gas prices in many markets have traditionally been linked in various ways to oil. This is particularly the case in European markets and in Far Eastern markets that collectIvely refer to the Japanese Crude Cocktail (JCC). In North America, gas and oil end use markets have progressively become separated with some residual links in Northeast heating markets. The continuing arrival of substantial LNG on the market, the economic collapse of 2008 and the meteoric rise in US unconventional gas have destabilized the old order. Market terms of trade have shifted momentarily to buyers. But it is not that easy. The old order had its merits. Some current market phenomena may be ephemeral. Many factors are at play: in power markets; rapidly growing emerging markets; unconventional plays outside the US; the impact of liquids markets on gas producers. This Roundtable will explore these and other factors at play and their directionality. But by all indications, a stable global gas pricing standard is unlikely to appear any time soon if ever.

At a time when the Alliance has just celebrated its 75th anniversary and the Stoltenberg era is drawing to a close after ten years at the head of the organization, NATO's agenda bears witness to the diversity of its areas of action, as well as to the different perceptions of the Allies on these issues.
Paris Naval Conference 2025: Naval Power and the Challenges of Securing Maritime Autonomy
Playing a crucial role in the global economy, the maritime economy, which includes maritime transport, fishing, the extraction of underwater resources, the leisure and tourism sectors and, increasingly, marine renewable energies, is particularly exposed to the deterioration of international relations when it is expressed primarily in common spaces. As such, it seems inexorably destined to (re)become an essential issue for the navies in charge of securing maritime activities.
