This is the first comprehensive analysis of the Union for the
Mediterranean (UfM), launched in 2008 amid great controversy within
the European Union. Affected from the start by negative fallout
from the failure of Middle East peace initiatives, its inadequacies
have been underlined by the popular movement for regime change in
the Arab world. Leading experts provide here the first integrated
analysis of the significance and shortcomings of the UfM. Beginning
with critical questioning of the motives and institutional logics
informing this venture, the collection proceeds to analyse its key
actors, as well as major policy dossiers such as energy and
development. The book explains how and why an initiative aiming to
depoliticize Euro-Mediterranean relations in fact proved wide open
to political discord, bringing huge disruption to UfM activity.
While some aspects are found to have merit, the volume is critical
of the way in which EU Mediterranean policy became driven by a
narrow range of national interests, lost sight of the political
objectives of the preceding Barcelona Process and became
overwhelmingly bilateral in approach, at the expense of more
ambitious region-building efforts. It concludes by highlighting the
need to reform the EU Mediterranean policy framework in the light
of the Arab uprisings of 2011. This book was published as a special
issue of Mediterranean Politics.
