EURO-MEDITERRANEAN
INTEGRATION
This EDRC publication is the third in a series which brings
together papers by eminent academics and brilliant younger
researchers from Mediterranean States, be the latter Member States
of the European Union or not. The papers, reproduced here in the
original English or French, seek to present and inspire critical
thinking as well as to provide essential background information and
data, and will contribute to future cross-regional research on the
impact in the Mediterranean region of the E.U.’s acquis
communautaire in the context of Enlargement and the reinvigoration of the Barcelona Process. This volume, which follows
two volumes, published in 1998 and 2000 respectively, under the
titles: The Mediterranean’s European Challenge and The
Mediterranean’s European Challenge: Volume II, is the fruit of a
network made possible by the assistance of the European
Commission and the University of Malta. We hope that it will
contribute to the study of the main challenge facing both “Third”
Mediterranean States, whether they be seeking Union Membership
or not, and also the Member States of the European Union. This
common challenge is that of building the European dimension of
the Mediterranean and the Mediterranean dimension of the House
of Europe, leading on as short a time-scale as circumstances allow
to a Euro-Mediterranean area of peace, security and prosperity.
