No Euro-Mediterranean Community without peace, by Muriel Asseburg and Paul Salem (EUISS)

10 Papers for Barcelona 2010: N°01 No Euro-Mediterranean Community without peace

This paper is the first in a series of 10 papers published jointly by the EUISS and the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed). 10Papers-01.pdf The authors look at the prospects for Euro-Mediterranean initiatives against the current troubled backdrop of the Middle East, and in particular the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Clearly, the long-term objective of creating a Euro-Mediterranean Community will not be fulfilled without a lasting peace in the region. The authors put forward a set of proposals on how Europe should contribute to resolving the Middle East crisis.
