Reconfiguring Euro-Med Regional Cooperation

May 2011

Abstract

Any attempt to reconfigure the Euro-Med framework for regional cooperation needs to build on the emerging geopolitical context of the broader Middle East following the Arab revolutions. To counteract the potential of new regional divisions, support the process of economic transition, and regain its ability to operate, Euro-Med countries should consider both downscaling and broadening the by now defunct Union for the Mediterranean (UfM).
