Summary/Abstract: Eurasia is the vast landmass composed of two of the seven traditionally known Continents – Europe and Asia. Europe and Asia, though have traditionally been considered two separate continents, geologically they both lie on the same landmass or tectonic plate, the Eurasian Supercontinent. Despite this the idea of Europe and Asia as two separate, distinct Continents has been in vogue for centuries, more likely due to Euro-centric approach for geopolitical considerations. Eurasian landmass, covers a space of about 55 million sq km that contains 93 of present-day countries (almost all of Asian countries including China and Russia, all European countries, Central Asian and some African countries) with a total population of around 4.7 billion people (almost 3/4 of the world’s total population – 60% in Asia and 12.5% in Europe).Future of rich energy resources of Eurasia and which way may these go? How would it affect the world, region and EU? There is so much happening almost every other day, that it’s hard to predict the future. With the typical information overload of the current age, one wonders which facts matter and which do not.
