What drives European foreign policy towards the wider Mediterranean
and Middle East region? This collection takes an innovative
approach to answering this question, by considering the impact of
intra-European divisions on European polices towards this crucial
region. European foreign policy has traditionally been defined by a
clear division of labour: southern European member states take the
lead in the EU's southern neighbourhood, while central and northern
European countries drive policies in the EU's eastern
neighbourhood. The resulting north-south split has entrenched
geo-clientalistic behaviour as a core principle of EU foreign
policy-making and has fuelled a static intra-European competition
over influence and resources. However, as European power dynamics
shift, these old divisions no longer hold and northern and central
European countries have been pushed towards a more pro-active role
in the region. But what factors are shaping the foreign policies of
these countries in the Mediterranean and Middle East? What has been
their contribution to common EU polices? And does their growing
activism signal an end to old geo-clientalistic division as a core
driver of European foreign policy?
