Description

This volume presents essential aspects of Mediterranean politics to be reconsidered in the light of the Arab upheavals since 2010.

The focal point of the book is the question in how far European-Mediterranean relations are challenged by the various developments.

It explores the relationship between security and democracy within the Arab countries and in European-Mediterranean relations.

The ambiguity between the promotion of democratic values and the preservation of common interests in cooperation in economic and security affairs is stirred up by changing political actors and new conflictual constellations inside the Arab countries.

All these changes evoke new challenges for all areas of the European-Mediterranean cooperation.

Thus, the volume assembles contributions from different angles on the re-formulation of the European Neighbourhood Policy as well as the Democracy Assistance towards the Southern Mediterranean.

It discusses the major security issues of a cooperative security architecture, counter-terrorism action, migration control and security sector reform in order to explore the relevant challenges in the field.

The contributions analyse the recent developments and challenges, provide critical insights into those fields and endeavour to provide some proposals for improving Mediterranean cooperation on democracy and security. This book was published as a special issue of Democracy and Security.
